Glenn Gould on Sviatoslav Richter (with updated video information)

Glenn Gould on Sviatoslav Richter, and in particular his interpretation of Schubert.
UPDATE re: the voice in this clip -- it turns out that this was taken from a Russian TV program, in which Gould originally spoke in English but was later overdubbed in Russian. The original English audio was lost, and it had to be re-overdubbed in English, using the text of Gould's comments (which is stored at the National Library of Canada). So while the voice is not Gould's, the comments are.

@onlymusiciansallowed: Please listen to Richter playing Pictures at an exhibition at Sofia 1958 and then we talk about mathematics.

this is GOULD speaking
-
What's Richter's problem? Why does he always claim that he is playing badly?
-
@x2f01mick - true.
But its a ludicrous position for that person to hold.
And its a potentially dangerous way of thinking.

@HowdyThere88 Here's a lil' epistomology; "my opinions are better than yours." that argument works due to the fact that it is circular. I bring it up because, that statement seems to be true to the human condition(subjectively-objecti
ve-subjectivity). Further, it is the basis of our solipsism(and tribalism, i.e. as an extension of egoism). -
I love the intensity of his face when playing the piano, Richter is one of my heroes.

@onlymusiciansallowed - I find a tremendous amount of "heart" in the playing of Richter, Gould & Pollini.
You may respond to one performer more favorably than another performer (and I think we we all do) but to say that one is "superior" is tantamount to saying that your own personal likes are superior.
-
@onlymusiciansallowed I can only laugh at what you said. Not that I disagree with the last sentence, but all the other things you said are "just for laughs".

Of course Gould does not like Schubert!!! Its so refined and sincere and so close to listeners heart there is no place for Gould's ego in between...

It's hilarious how closely the dub has matched Gould's style of speaking. The voice is obviously different, but he has matched Gould's odd cadence perfectly.
