Glenn Gould 1957 Live Performance of Bach Partita No 5 in G Major - Allemande/Sarabande/Courante RE-UPLOAD

Video of Glenn Gould playing the Allemande, Sarabande, and Courante from Bach's Partita No 5 in G major BWV 829. The beginning is a still image, but video starts at around 0:25. I think this is from his Russian tour, but I'm not certain.

This is a re-upload, because the first time I uploaded it I uploaded one with a false beginning (one of my cats interrupted the recording process and I had to start it over).

Wow one of youtubes treasures, Gould at a young age. Amazing how the playing is still so crisp clean full of life.He slowed his tempi down with age, but still, wow. Those ornaments. They way he can give 3 voices 3 different articulations. The Corrente, amazing, no one has ever tried to play Bach like this and we all know Bach was a virtuoso. Glenn didn't play Bach like an old lady and it upset people, but the records sold, didn't they? People could feel the life in his recordings, thanks Glenn!

Approx 15 years ago about 15 x 2 hour long laser discs were issued by CBS of Gould playing solo and with others.
