    I heard/saw him perform this live in 1962 when I was 11. I sat in row nine and watched his huge Steinway rocking back and forth about 9" as he imposed his will upon it. It was passionate, full of well-placed rubato and quite different from his Bach. When he finished, 4,400 people leapt to their feet literally cheering in thunderous applause as if it was a hockey game. Mr. Gould's hair was all over his face, he was covered in perspiration from head to toe, and even his suit was visibly drenched. I too was drenched in sweat and my heart pounding I was so moved. To this day it remains one of the most beautiful, yet horrendous performances I've ever witnessed.

    Before I heard this, I had already cultivated a healthy respect for Mr Gould’s ability as a classical pianist based on other pieces I had heard him play. Having studied La Valse in school many years ago, I was already quite familiar with it. When I heard this, I realized that GG is THE greatest classical pianist I have ever had the privilege to listen to. He actually improves on Ravel’s single-player transcription, no easy task for even the best musical minds. He essentially becomes a one-man orchestra, fully capturing the essence of Ravel’s incredible composition. I would encourage anyone to becoming familiar with the orchestral version before listening to this as a piano is not an orchestra and certain passages can seem muddy or indiscernible. “...an idiomatic dilettante or a judicious assimilator of diverse influences...”, I’d say Mr Gould also had an exemplary command of the English language.

      I think for me, he is the greatest pianist; "we can't listen to earlier pianists like Beethoven." It is interesting to hear this work because outside of the transcriptions of other musicians, Gould as far as I understand, did not really connect with Liszt: perhaps unlike many, he was not overwhelmed because of his technique and sheer talent. I don't know much about Ravel but some of this reminds me of Liszt - some of the base reminds me of studying Liszt's Funerailles, "also Chopin's Polonaise in Ab. It is also interesting to listen to Richard Strauss' modern yet nostalgic treatment of the Waltz in Der rosenkavalier which was written at about the same time.

      I love Gould, he's one of the all time greats in my opinion. However, I don't necessarily agree with him on everything, he has some wild opinions that only make sense to him through his own way of viewing music.
      He once said that Mozart became a bad composer later in life, I think some of Mozart's best stuff came from his last years, but Gould sees value in different musical terms to me and that's fine (Source: 'How Mozart Became a Bad Composer' - th-cam.com/video/SHogW8FnFZM/w-d-xo.html).
      I just don't try and make sense of it and enjoy the few gems we have like this. I also found out he never actually wrote down this La Valse transcription, he took Ravel's transcription and scribbled pencil markings all over it in an effort to join the 3 staves into 2 hands. It's now in the Canadian National Library

      The music of Chopin did not convince him, and as for Liszt, one may glean an insight into Goulds opinion of him in the clip where he heaps praise on Sviatoslav Richter. Glenn mentions Richter as an example of the musician who acts as a conduit and direct link between the listener and the music, while he lists Liszt and Paganini as possible examples of musicians who above everything else are determined to make the audience aware of the relationship that the virtuouso has with the instrument.
      He had a mischievous streak and was not afraid to mock music he did not like, the prime example being some of his recordings of Mozart. So as much as I love Goulds recordings of Bach, I am almost thankful that he did not record more than a few works of Chopin. He did record the 3rd Sonata, playing it in his own way of course. Which makes for interesting listening, and a viable alternative to some of the more overly rubato-laden interpretations. But that said, it is too extreme in the opposite direction for my taste.

    In the wise yet still stubborn words of the oldest and wisest fella I've ever seen alive's rhetoric: "I didn't hear bach, I heard GOULD." Very true, Bernstein. That's what makes Gould a genius in my opinion; not evil nor crazed like many unlisteners think, but rather one that takes the earliest passions and adds upon them in the images and reflections of the composers who created them, yet not in the same exact pattern... listen to the flow, it's all there, yet so stumbling at certain points, like a pivoting jackhammer in the concrete let aloose... his handiwork literally surpasses expectations and destroys only to reconstruct original visions and dreams, crushing them into a gory pulp and amalgamation of original thoughts and neuronic flows... Gould is truly a master, bravo the greatest of the unknown!

    I think this is not a "new" transcription of the work, but just the choices Glenn Gould had to make to give us what he thought to be the most convincing version of this piece! It's possible to follow his playing from Ravel's own version, that sort of indicates possibilities of adding some extra voices, writen for the orchestral version. For me he did basically choose which ones of these "possibilities" he would play or note! Anyway, is by far the best version for two hands available, and also showing much more "bone", structure than many of the two pianos versions, that sound beautifull, but a bit confused at times, including here Argerich/Freire's version, fantastic live, as the sound coming from the two pianos was pure beauty and delicacy, but a bit "blured" to me in the versions available here. With Gould we are always certain that the result is always a beautifull flow of music! Great genius! Greatlly missed! Bravo!!

    If I am not wrong , Ravel was born near the border with Spain and his mother was Spanish. From a young age he was in contact with Spanish artists and he himself wrote a number of pieces based aspects of Spain. Some of those pieces are among the best known pieces composed by him.
    Therefore, the affirmation of Ravel writing Rapsodie Espagnole, as an example of he composing about remote locations that he didnt know, is hilarious. It is one of those things that GG sometimes told rather randomly :-)) . It doesn't decrease his legend at all, in fact, it increases his legendary status! He was unique even in this "creative field"! 👍

    This arrangement is profound in reducing a titanic work of orchestration to the possibilities of the piano. Gould did a more masterful job at this piano reduction than the composer himself, but this is not surprising, considering the demands intrinsic to Mr. Gould's piano version are near the pinnacle of virtuosity; Ravel's arrangement does not challenge the pianist to the same unrelenting degree.

    No doubt, Gould was a great pianist: always among the best options to listen to (mostly his Bach recordings), and I love it when musicians dare arrange or compose something. I have to say, however, that even though this is a very interesting interpretation of this creative and exciting piece (always liked it) I find Mr. Gould's arrangement a little over-elaborate and his approach a little bit frenetic, perhaps (sincere and constructive criticism; he's not around anymore anyway, unfortunately). His usual genius phrasing in some slower parts, and impeccably performed but I felt a little tired at the end (too many overwhelming notes). I honestly like / prefer the most popular piano arrangement best. He was great, anyway... 🌹

  • @studioheathco

    Ravel presented La Valse to Diaghilev as a piano duet as a work for ballet, and the latter found it to feel merely as a portrait of a ballet. The piano versions have always been a good deal more aggressive than the orchestrated symphonic version, which for some historians seems to be a “lost in translation” moment for why Diaghilev might have not found it to his taste. Ravel was a stickler for keeping steady time, and one can almost wonder if a combination of “heavy piano” and strict, mechanical performance might have been the nail in the coffin for Diaghilev. Had he heard Gould’s transcription and performance, would the results have been different?

    10本の指でピアノを歌わせる充実した演奏。日本のお琴を思わせるアルペジオも聴こえるし低音のフォルテッシモも爆弾のよう。音価を伸ばすのに手首を低い位置から奥へ曲げていくのも独特。この演奏には見どころ、聴きどころが沢山あって毎年数回楽しんでいる。私にとって次点はユジャ・ワンによる演奏、彼女も口ずさみながら弾いている。

    Maurice Ravel re-deciphered again, for a better understanding of this very introverted idea of what feelings a waltz can arise when you're spinning and let your thoughts wandering, even if tempo brings you back to your own dancing

    Если в исполнении Бориса Березовского,образы этого восхитительного Вальса мелькают,как фантастические видения,то Вальс у Гульда звучит более реально,несколько обыденно,но это мое субъективное мнение.

    Do you know what I can summarize in Gould's art, having heard thousand and thousands of his performances? Gould plays music, others re-play music.

  • @PSHEYACOOL
    @PSHEYACOOL 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Of course, all Gould's fans will write to me that I'm an idiot, but I'll tell my honest opinion. Too small a dynamic range for impressionism, where everything rests on these smallest shades. He removed this smoothness and airiness of the sound. Sometimes the piano sounds like a technical mechanism. And I don't like that he excluded all those magical glisandos. Glen Gould is a great musician, but he is one of those who love himself in the composer, and not the composer in himself.
