"There is Bach ... and then all the others." Pablo Casals
"Despite all my love for many others - and Beethoven and Mozart are not the least - I can only agree with Casals: Bach dominate them all." Paul Tortelier
beethoven also said "Bach sollte nicht Bach, sondern Meer heißen."

@noobarta well music of this level has never been made anymore since 1750 -)

@jezmuff @mackbox123 @dersiano @tomoka404 this is a modified piano with metal hammers for a more harpsichord-like sound. He played one concert with it. Also played Brandenburg 5 and accompanied Cantata 54 in this concert. Search wikipedia for "tack piano." I think Brandenburg 5 sounds especially good with this instrument and Gould's playing.

They don't make music like this anymore :(

i love the sound of that piano. is it a steinway??

@diditrich there is completely different approach toward the fugue, between Bach and Beethoven, i mean. Beethoven rarely wrote traditional fugue. I would not call op. 133 as a cold piece but one of the most astoundic document of human genius.

@dersiano Nearly missed your interesting reply. Bet you are a huge fan of Gould and Bach. I've just heard your recording of the Art of Fugue on a synthesizer. It is marvellous! And this makes me feel that Bach's fugue could be performed through any kind of medium with its artistry still remains. Bach's work will last a thousand years.

Hi mackbox 123! I have read a lot about Gould, as well as possessing his recording of the Bach Partitas... on vinyl! ...and I think that in the copious notes that come with that recording, which sort of amounts to an 'interview' with Gould, he admits that he used to tamper with his pianos to make them sound more like harpsichords. I'm pretty sure that that's what he's done in this recording, hence the rather strange piano sound.... which of course does not detract from the wonderful playing!

@mackbox123 This is what older pianos + older recording techniques sound like

so wild and exciting
