Bach - Goldberg Variations: Aria (Glenn Gould)

"Bach's music is the only argument proving the creation of the Universe can not be regarded a complete failure". ~ E.M. Cioran

Gould's interpretation here is sublime.

i want to play like Gould

"i want to play like Gould".

Don't we all.

The humming is beautiful, like his playing. I love the way he picks out part of the melody to hum. Its like an insight into his mind. It expressive his love for the melody. Its like he wants to sing to it, out of respect and appreciation and love.

Gould is the greatest pianist of our generation. And Bach is the greatest of all the composers.

OMG That was his chair, the famous worn chair. too bad he died too early, he used to argue that Mozart died too late than early LOL

I was like, "Is there a malfunction on my com? Why is there... humming?? OMG It's Glenn himself." My teachers do that when I play sometimes, that's why I'm used to it. :)) But it's still LOL.

He claimed that he wasn't aware of doing it and couldn't help it. He was enough of a perfectionist to want to not do it, but he always said that when he consciously tried not to him, he didn't play nearly as well, so he and his techies had to put up with it. You learn to ignore it.

Simply.....Mastery....

Gould tiene la capacidad excepcional de hablar con la música de forma directa. Es un lenguaje en el que ambos se entienden y se responden. Gulda habla con sus manos de terciopelo, y el piano con su bella sonoridad

I was talking about the piece, and about the interpretation in this particular case. I feel he's particularly inspired in this recording.
