Composer: Johann Sebastian Bach
Pianist: Glenn Gould

Paintings:
1) Johannes Vermeer's "View of Delft"
2) Januarius Zick's "Peasant Dance in a Tavern"
3) Claude Monet's "Woman in a Garden"
4) Vincent van Gogh's "Country Road in Provence by Night"
5) Pablo Picasso's "Dance of Peace"

Bach's music is timeless, so I represented it with colorful and distinctive paintings from successive eras. This is one of my favorites from the set of French Suites, and I hope you are enjoying it.

  • I can hear Bach's soul through Glenn Gould, how he interpreted Bach's beautiful counterpoint harmonies. He interpreted this beautiful French Suite in the modern piano -still making the baroque harpsichord playing style alive. Very beautiful. :) 5 stars

  • Bach, one of the most overtly Christian musicians? You are kiidding, yeah? Try "one of the most talented. Jeez, it's like appropriating Wagner for the Nazis.

  • What the hell!? It is called an "ALLEMANDE", Mr Gould. Please try to play it as if it were one.

  • This is too fast. I play it slow and it sounds better.

    What a pity. If only this song was composed after the damper pedal was invented. I played it with damper it sounds beautiful.

  • wondering if there was a wrong sequence in the middle? the 4th piece should be Gavotte and the 5th should be Menuet.

  • This is just plain awesome.

  • When it comes to Bach, Gould or nothing.

    Everyone else screws it up somehow.

    If it's not Gould, it's a good kindlin'!

  • @firebreathone3 You're absolutely correct. He was one of the most overtly Christian musicians in the history of the world.

  • @caddencadden

    Not exactly. His main motivation was to glorify God.

  • Bach wrote music for his enjoyment, not to make money

  • PAPA BACH !!!!
