  • I much prefer Ingrid Haebler's interpretation of this incredible piece of music. But Glen Gould is a genius.

  • @pjk I just checked out Haebler's version. You are a man of good taste. :)

  • I don't think it's a cold version. A lot of bits are perhaps exaggeratedly staccato - that probably sounded very much like the forte-pianos in Mozart's time. But other bits are positively lyrical and sensitively played - eg. the opening motif or 3:06 - 3:20.

    BTW fantastic statue! Where is it?

  • Downtown Toronto

  • This is the most beautiful interpretation of Mozart's sonata I've ever heard!

  • it´s not the way i envision mozart playing it, also not the way i would play it. But damn, there´s an ease to it that makes it very enjoyable, it really sounds like he´s having fun!

  • yummy

    

  • too fast.. but sounds kinda cool this tempo

  • This interpretation is hilarious!

  • very good, except there are a few places where the pedal would have connected the piece more smoothly. Of course using the pedal throughout the entire song is not good like some interpretations, but not at all isn't the best way either, in my opinion. I know Mozart didn't use the pedal, but considering that we have them now, it would sound better with it added.

  • Very lively and a refreshing contrast to how this is usually played...I don't know if I can stand the humming though. Glenn Gould's eccentricity is better read about than heard.

  • Bellissima sonata!!!!

    Questo è il pezzo più bello: 0:22-0:41

  • This is such a great sonata. I esp like this movement.

  • Glenn Gould did NOTTTT butcher Mozart. Anyone who thinks he did, I would say, is a closed minded TWIT!!!!!

  • @bob51bob I cant find Haebler's version in Youtube. But Barenboim's is available and is wonderful. DO you have Gould playing the middle movement?

  • funny thing about this being great is that Gould bloody hated Mozart :P
