He lays it down bare, bluntly even, He doesn't hide behind reverb. He takes Bach and shows it to us "Here it is". Perfect timing....PERFECT CONTROL....ITS UN BELIEVABLE.....The Russians were right he was an alien. There is a reason, why he and Bach were chosen to represent earth (among others) on the Gold record on Voyager. He and Bach are traveling the universe, forever.

Glenn gould is special he is beyond comparison in Bach. No one can actually surpass Gould or, only reach at a decent distance(Richter, Gulda, Lipatti...)

Aww no..toooo mechanical,not doing bach justice,.try Andras schiff's version alot slower and full of character and colour + he explores way more possibilities within the piece without ruining it!

best bach interpreter ever but his humming is annoying.

Glenn Gould played piano like Bobby Fischer played chess .. completely and utterly dominating it through logic and creativity.

@zours Don't listen to anyone. You can play like this. Just be determined to, watch and copy the master. Be very patient though. Be ready to undertake the learning journey and humbly accept your mistakes along the way and learn from them.
