In sofar as disregarding completely Haydn's expression and dynamic markings is a kind of restraint...and that piano sounds so clattery, metallic. It must be said that GG did sth really new with Haydn though.
Quoting the wonderful but silly ‘Eroica’ film does Haydn no service whatsoever; it about as factual as Amadeus! Haydn didn’t do restraint at all, and neither did he regret the loss of his dear departed wife!!
???? I don't known anything about a silly Eroica film, nor do I know anything about the loss of his dear departed wife. Apparently the word restraint is a problem, so be it. I have not a problem with the opinion of another person, I am an old man and life is to short. Greetings.@@elaineblackhurst1509
Ohh! Glenn Gould Haydn is so good. I love all of his classical period music including the Mozart. He has such a clear and stoic approach, I really love it. This sonata is awesome and the opening theme never becomes any less satisfying to hear. The development is such a pleasant and blossoming thing, the way it starts is so demure.
@@Jerry-ek2mc Everything is questionable but I like a lot of his performances. The first, third, 5th sonata, 7th, 12th, and 15th are good examples for me. I like the clarity and articulation choices he makes as well as tempi outside of the extreme outliers tempi like one of his 10 recordings and the famous 8th first movement. The other 10 recording is really nice and has a subtle, gentle tempo for the first movement which is really pleasant

Einzigartige doch wunderschöne Interpretation dieser perfekt komonierten Sonate im relativ schnellen Tempo mit klar artikuliertem doch elegantem Klang des technisch fehlerlosen Klaviers und mit möglichst effektiver Dynamik. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und echt melodisch. Im Kontrast klingt der dritte Satz echt lebhaft und auch überzeugend. Das ist auch Haydn!
@@davidhertzberg Glad to hear that! :) We've a lesson of music history and I felt like I'm the only one, who was smiling. But maybe others are just not giving so much expression. It made me a little bit sad...
@@smerdajenda In my personal experience, the vast majority of humanity is oblivious and, indeed, barely aware of its environment. Asking the average person to find subtleties or nuance in a piano sonata written 200 years ago will not generate positive results. Perhaps you can ask your teacher to show where Haydn was trying to be amusing.
@@davidhertzberg with how much humans like to listen to music, you would guess they'd be able to find nuance in the music to which they were listening. Unfortunately, a lot of the popular music nowadays is no where near as nuanced as the great masterpieces of the past, and thus people are less able to find more complicated nuance than before
Totally agreed. Way to rushed, without any nuance or understanding of the musical rhetoric of that time. The adoration for GG is a classic example of the Clothes of the Emperor.
@@christianwouters6764 Gould’s early recordings of Bach I like. Other than that, I don’t get the appeal. He mangles later composers like Mozart and especially Brahms. I read a biography of him. The man had serious mental health issues
@M 0C I feel the same way when I hear Gould playing some Bach prelude as fast as humanly possible, or tunelessly singing/moaning away while playing some adagio. Gould has GOT to be trolling us.

What a fescinating musical impetus. Glenn's Rhythm is second to none here. Simply unique!
Thank you, David!
Glenn Gould understood magnificently the "restraint" of Joseph Haydn. Great performance ! Thanks David !

Grandiose ! I am glad I am gradually finding back to Glenn Gould.
It would have been my loss. Thanks for helping with that, david !

Glenn’s Mozart? Questionable

Intellektuell meisterhaft, musikalisch sehr überzeugend, pianistisch über alle Maßen frei und trotzdem streng.
Glenn war ein Genie!

I feel this is one of Gould's best recordings. The earlier version is great, too.
Please, is there anyone who finds Haydn so funny? I'm literally laughing when hearing his masterpiece :D
Yes... humor is Haydn's leitmotif. :)

It’s just possible you might be misunderstanding this sonata; you’re not supposed to be laughing at any point.
The first movement is played like Vivace but not Allergo non troppo. And he ignores legatos on lyrical passages...
How dare he?
Sorry folks. I don’t like it one bit. Rushed and clattery. Devoid of charm and elegance. Horowitz, Ax, and DeLarrocha play it better

What instrument is he playing?
sounds like either a really bright piano or maaaybe a piano forte
Gould plays Haydn. He abuses Bach. Nice to hear him play……
'abuses Bach' - Sheer nonsense!
@@berlinzerberus His Bach is just awful.
@@southfloridaarcheryguy114 not like he recorded the definitive version of the goldberg variations or anything
@@michaelberringer8595 Definitive in whose opinion? Gould’s playing of Bach has been eclipsed MANY times over since it’s time.
