  • Fine, fine. Always GG.

    And to think he didn't even like this music. He played it for a TV broadcast.

  • Yeah, he even called himself a "franco-phobe". This was the first time he played Debussy or Ravel, and it was to him just a "training-ground". Peculiar... I guess he only liked lots of counterpoint, which clarifies his appreciation of Webern and sorts

  • @GreggaryPeccary Except for Bizet.

  • This is absolutely beautiful. I was looking for something like this, it just makes me heart ache. I never thought the clarinet and piano could be worked out well together, I've heard other compositions and they didn't do so well. But this, it's at once solemn and peaceful, like a dream.

    Why, Thank You! I'm glad you took the time.

    I've been mulling your point,

    "..to speak of it truthfully may not be the artists job, but the admirers."

    Perhaps the role of the critic, especially now in two way media - is not to judge but express how it affects them, or makes them feel.

  • @michaelholloway111

    Finding it clear was a struggle, but none the less profoundly inquisitive, I love how you said "one inspired night", it is exactly the reflection I had on this rendition. Capturing the rapture of soul is one thing, but to speak of it truthfully may not be the artists job, but the admirers. Grateful.

    I was thinking it doesn't sound like when Gould plays Bach, you can tell it's Gould playing Bach they way Bach may have - one inspired night, and then forgot it the next day, kind of thing...

    This sounds like DeBussy - which isn't a slag, it's like saying he doesn't play Beethoven any better than Beethoven.

    Was that clear?

  • Comme il le disait lui-même de Mozart, GG est mort trop tard.

  • Brilliant!

  • Really? Is he 'good'? Wow!

  • great!!!
