  • is that eric idle and john cleese at 3.05?

  • I've experienced the Toronto Symphony Orchestra a few times. It's world class. --But the TSO PLUS Gould?! That's arguably too much for the intellect to handle...

  • how strange to hear a completely deadened small room close-mic'd sound from an orchestra, utterly dry, no ambience or audience. Glenn is the man. I seem to remember a late 1970's movie "The Competition" where Amy Irving smacked up Richard Dreyfus with her Rach 3 or something vs. his Emperor. And in his pretend-Emperor, at those suddenly-slowed chords at the end of the piano's first solo Richard got all actor-y imitating actual piano playing, was hilarious.

  • That stool, that immediacy with the keyboard, his seeming unease and his complete knowledge of the score seen in his self-conducting ... it is a wonder to watch this Candadian genius of music, Glenn Gould, perform live.

  • Glenn Gould's performance has such strong characters.

  • Does somebody noticed? This guy has an alien inside just laughing of master works of music. Of course he was prety talented, but in a certain point of his career he stoped being completly himself. Just see his W.C. sit down style in 1:57, see the tic in his mouth while he´s playing, see the "self conducting" of this kind of "musical arm fo Charles Manson´s Club".

  • best "Emperor" ----glenn gould

  • Magistrale!

  • Splendid, all-star performance--but the sound reproduction is ghastly!  It sounds like it was recorded in a barrel--Too damned bad.

  • Karl Ancerl,GREAT too

  • Unreal playing as usual!

  • Oboe player at 5:52 is such a boss!
