    I remember there was a comment saying if the fugue from hammerklavier sonata was a celebration of the piano as an instrument, this fugue is celebration of life.

    I am 72 yrs. old, a classical music lover since music appreciation class in high school, and even had a couple 33 1/3 albums of Gould performing Bach but NEVER loved him as I do today after watching countless utube videos of his performances in the late 50’s and 60’s. You miss something when you don’t actually see him performing the music. I can’t get enough and am afraid no one has come along since to replace him... I am also huge Beethoven lover and putting these two geniuses together is “heaven” on earth to me!

    Gould gave only two concerts in 1964, one in Chicago on March 29, the other in Los Angeles on April 10. Both recitals opened with four parts of Bach's Art of the Fugue and featured two Sonatas from 20th century composers: Krenek's Third in Chicago and Hindemith's Third in L.A. And the main work on both occasions was Beethoven's Sonata No.31. Nobody knew then that it was to be Glenn Gould's very last public performances. Another tidbit of information: Gould's recording of Beethoven's last three Sonatas was done before the coming of stereo. Gould was planning to record all 32 Sonatas and Columbia would have liked him to re-record those three Sonatas. Gould refused. He had been very annoyed at the critics who almost unanimously pounced on the subject. The New York Times was very harsh, calling "...the performances immature and inexplicable". Gould never easily admitted mistakes and he said to some of his closest friends that "...since so many critics have taken exception to my conception of late Beethoven I cannot claim that it is the most convincing recording that I have made. However, I do feel that, if only as a personal manifesto, it is the most convinced". Simply put, case closed.

    I'm astonished by Glenn's articulateness. You'd think he'd memorized his lines or was reading from a teleprompter in his intro to the piece, but no, it's completely off the cuff. Unbelievable, especially by today's standards. How far we've fallen.

      Considering Glenn Gould was pretty darn insane that he even planned his TV appearances to the point that his interviewers reactions were also scripted... it's not so astonishing after all. I'd expect nothing less from a man with such strong neurotic character traits than a perfectly articulated introduction speech. Wether he memorised them is also not clear

He has such a brilliant mind and his ability to articulate such complex ideas in such a comprehensible and compelling manner, is truly as extraordinary as was his ability to do that at the keyboard. There is no one else like him; sadly it seems, there will not ever be someone else like him....and the playing of most players today just comes up so short, even the very famous and successful mainstream pianists.

      His album of the last three Beethoven sonatas was only his second album recorded for Columbia. At the time it was considered very daring for such a young pianist to record late Beethoven piano works, and the press beat him up pretty badly for it. Gould ignores tempo indications in the variations of Op. 109 as well as playing the first movement faster and more rubato than most people were used to hearing it (he plays the movement like as if it were a long cadenza or improvisation), which many critics considered outrageous and disrespectful of the music itself. I think they're incredible and undeniably original recordings.

    Слушая музыку Бетховена в исполнении Глена Гульда, понимаешь, что человек призван не столько быть благоприличным, сколько - носителем блага, проявлять его в себе.
    Вот почему среди музыкантов так ценится искренность! Ведь это значит не стыдится быть самим собой - то есть соответствовать всему лучшему, что в тебе заложено, и быть его "исполнителем", а не только слушателем.
    А это значит, что во все, что бы ни делал человек, должна быть вложена его душа, во всем должен быть весь он без остатка.
    Ведь именно душа и делает все, творит саму себя, как бы лепит ее заново, творит жизнь через себя.
    И как важно, чтобы она творила её из своей светлой глубины!
    Ибо на всем, к чему она прикасается, остаётся её отблеск, неизгладимая печать: "сделано тем, кто создан по образу и подобию Божию и чьё имя написано на небесах"! Спасибо!

    have listened to probably 10 recordings of this by various of the greatest of all time. Gould is simply stunning in his use of his left hand and his rubato. Only Grimaud IMO compares for the adagio passages. Richter has a haunting sound from his performance in the 60s but Gould simply walks all over everybody in the fugue. Like it's not even close. Gould had a reservoir of technical ability that seemed without limit and his ability to speak and play these pieces as if wholly internalized is without peer. Arguably the greatest pianist ever...I'd only really entertain a debate vs Horowitz and it'd have to be split along the composers they had the most affinity toward. When I hear a performance by Gould, I inevitably start comparing other all-time greats' to his and just keep coming back to Gould.

    Glenn Gould helped me see this sonata in a new light I’ve heard it before but it wasn’t one of my favorites Was Beethoven deaf when he composed this? How is it possible to come up with something that emotional when one can’t hear?Thank you for the video

      NET MATE the vibrations ..stand next to an acoustic piano while someone is playing it, you’ll feel it. that being said, who knows how deaf he really was when he wrote this.. and i’m sure by the time he was at total loss of hearing, the level of mastery he was at made composition almost a sixth sense ..

      maulCS yo i don’t know if your comment is sincere or not but i’ll assume it is: and as such, i can believe your statement because, myself, at the dentist when they use this ultrasonic cleaner thing on one my teeth i can quite physically ‘hear’ the intense vibrations directly in my ear (i fact it feels like my entire skull is vibrating). anyway i don’t know anatomy nor dentistry so forgive me if i use the wrong terminology.. but you get the point. cheers :)

    @Glenn Gould, thanks for (re)-posting this beautiful interpretation of my favorite movement of a Beethoven Piano Sonata! I'm hoping to use this recording for a small class (though it is low-fidelity, the phrasing is gorgeous). Though my usage might be covered under Fair Use, I'd want to make sure with y'all first. Would it be okay to present the full length of movement and to record and publically post a synchronized analysis? Thanks!
