When one is within that holy moment, playing Bach, it's a psychadelic experience in it's purest definition.

What a privilege it is.

Gould sure knew what I'm talking about!

Why do people have to use foul language????

while listening to the great G.G. I do ask my self why escpecially the german broadcasting station WDR3 is never taking stuff rcorded by Gould. Who needs Andras Schiff? Yes it is true, G.G. plays the works of famous composers his own way, but is it better to manage "task" by playing it note by note. Without any emotion and any risk to fail? Like the stupid Lang Lang (the chinese Ferenc L.) ???

But this fits to the awful "tradition" just to use pianos made by Steinway...

The music literally flows through Glenn. Even though I love this piece played by the book, I do love Glenn's intellect and heart flowing through his interpretation.

Well that was a geeky comment... but yeh :P

Just 13 notes of the beginning, just enough.
