Glenn Gould on Sviatoslav Richter (with updated video information)

At the beginning of Shubert Piano Sonata in G major and when Sviatoslav press he's hand on the keyboard I believe that Shubert use the same tone from Beethoven Piano Concerto No.4 in G major at the same beginning too! that very clear indeed

what a great video. thanks so much for sharing. haven't been a huge schubert fan but richter's playing here is certainly a strong argument on the composer's behalf.

great video. Gould & Richter = phenominal +＋

Schubert died when he was only 31
his music blows my mind

What Richter is doing here can only be considered phenomenal.

I wish this interview/documentary went on forever. I love listening to Gould talk (and play Bach and Beethoven of course) about music and Richter play it.

In what category would Rachmaninoff (as pianist) be? I personally think the second, but I wonder what other people think.

Also, Gould is definitely the second category.

This could be just me, but I personally doubt Liszt was only in the first category: according to some descriptions of his piano playing, he was very musical (for example, I read he played Beethoven very well).

Man, Glenn Gould would be a great writer...

Yeah, he is very well spoken. I love listening to his interviews.

Thanks for posting!

La sonata D894 tiene un antes y despues de Richter.

The D894 is Richter' s before/after.

Genio.
