...And the man is not counting, or keeping time.  He's reciting dialogue of the story he is telling.

Bach is so righteous.

something is wrong the man's mouth?

I once took back a cd set of Mozart sonatas played by Gould. All you could hear was his damn humming. Are you fucking kidding me?

@bersa888 What an intrigueing comment. The implication here then is that Bach wrote the music, and everything after is just commentary or footnotes; that maybe in another 300 years we could interperet his music perfectly.

Not at all disregarding or belittling the comment, as I've only JUST begun studying baroque music and counterpoint... and only just beginning to realize some of the brilliance that is Bach. I've just never thought of it in the way you presented, and it just may be accurate.

What music. Please don't tell me this is not magnificent. Perfect

[bersa888]

Amazing how far we have come as far as interpreting Bach and baroque music in general...

@earwasel2 maybe a bit egoexentric , i think bach would have deserve a better recording ;)

Gould was an excellent Bach interpretter. However, he was also very excentric. I'm sure he was told many times to not sing while recording, but alas, he still did.

I came here after spending all day reading and writing about and discussing politics and economics. Within seconds, the genius that was, is and ever will be Bach had put the world to rights. There is harmony in the universe and Bach's music is my proof.
