@yersi now isn't that special that you should lower yourself to communicate with the great unwashed,,,now why don't you just wrap your scarf around your distinguished neck and take a hike

[csilva321]

@yersi Well said! I thought Gould was pretty awesome until I realized that the guy was humming and signing as he was performing.

[yersi]

Maybe it's heresy, but I vastly prefer Schiff's performance to Gould. It's fast, expressive and dynamic, plus Schiff seems to communicate much better with the orchestra than Gould did.

Gould is a great pianist that has been elevated to deity-like status by rubes who confuse his weird ticks and OCD with superhuman genius. It's the "troubled genius" stereotype taken to its extremes, probably by the same people who call John Nash the greatest mathematician to walk the earth.

Wonderful ! Really ! It's just a shame that it was not a harpsichord... for Bach is much better.

Please, may some well-endowed millionaire who is watching this, make a very large donation that will make all of these videos free to the public...

[andros47]

What is wrong with me? If you think this is an even a marginally adequate performance of this piece, you are what Aristotle refers to "unteachable"...akin to a natural slave.

[pila406]

@andros47 Maybe not Gould. But awful?!?!? Really?! What is wrong with you?

Great performance. Very articulate and dynamic.

[andros47]

Awful...not Glenn Gould

[GUARDONISSIMO1]

@lauriran exactly dude. If only people loving garbage music could understand it...

[Catherineone]

Could I ask people who can play the piano on a scale of 1-10 how differcult is this peice to play ?

To my untrained ear it sounds like one has to keep pace with the music and if you make a mistake theres no way back.

When I have listen to Glenn Gould play this concerto it's sounds like he is spot on every note and the pace is perfection.

Am I right in my thinking that Glen Gould plays like God and the rest are trying there best ? or have I got it wrong and anyone can play this concerto ?
