The shot at 20.15 panning back to reveal the piano guts with Glenns face. Just Wow!
From Stravinsky - Discoveries and Memories by Robert Craft (2013) : "Gould was an enemy of Stravinsky's music [as he makes clear in his intro here], and even turned down a request from CBS New York to the record the Capriccio with its composer. Stravinsky never knew this but was fascinated by Gould both as a musician and person. On their first meeting in 1960 an affinity between the composer and the pianist was immediately manifest, which still perplexes me, as does Stravinsky's remark, "He is very handsome" - a word I never heard the composer use in reference to any other male. The two men breakfasted together in our Toronto hotel in 1962 and later sat and chatted as I [Craft] rehearsed the orchestra, the pianist soliciting the composer's opinions on such unlikely topics as the chamber music of Max Reger." It was a foregone conclusion that if there had to be a Stravinsky piece in CBC's series, Gould would select one without a piano part!
I've read the book, really enjoyed it. The animosity towards Stravinsky is quite bizarre, then again one could say the same about him lambasting some Mozart pieces, etc. This is just Gould being Gould...
Glenn: Yeah, since I liked modern composers (Schoenberg, Webern, Krenek?) I need to find some 20th century composer to hate :)
Piano’s Blox World - you can make a case that Schoenberg is to Stravinsky as Bach is to Haendel. You could view Schoenburg and Bach as pure and Stravinsky and Haendel as adulterated. Look at Haendel’s keyboard fugues, the way they “cheat,“ and look at Stravinsky‘s use of 12-tone techniques to evoke angst alone, as did Bernstein. Not my views - just a projection on my personal Gould!
@@Brad4EllisWow, that was so beautiful and I imagine Gould saying or thinking this
La Valse.... wonderful, the Viennese feel, Gould plays like he is obsessed. Love this man and his art.
actually its ravels art :)
@@IgnacioClerici-mp5cy It's both, if an actor performs Lear in King Lear, it is both Shakespeare's art and the actors
This is pure Gould.
24 carat Gould at that Doc
I want to add a literary information: the text of "L'Histoire du soldat", which is superb, is the work of the great Swiss writer Charles-Ferdinand Ramuz.
Gould on Stravinsky's piece:
"It's also full of a couple of bachian chorals that are subjected to the ultimate sacrilege... bad voice leading."
lol
This channel is a treasure. Thank you so much and please keep it up.
I love Gould and Stravinsky--am I conflicted, or WHAT!
Don’t worry my friend Stravinsky could have easily written what Gould wanted but Gould could not even imagine what Stravinsky wrote.
@@dgrjazz No doubt!
Conversation between two idiots
Can we take a moment to appreciate that, for all his stated loathing of Stravinsky's music, Gould still made time to feature it on a program he hosted? Even if he wasn't personally responsible for the choice of composer and piece, does anyone doubt he could have stomped his foot and had it excised if he really wanted to?
Thank you for the upload; so glad I can see Gould's Valse again.
So cool. Gould and Stravinsky. Who'd a thought? Thank you for posting! Gould's La Valse is awesome. But I notice he doesn't have much time to hum during it. I don't know how many such Gould programs exist but may they never run out. The person with the thumbs down should be hung by their thumb.
'La Valse' absolutely fantastic!
Thank you so much for all the content of this channel. Please keep them coming.
This is paradise.
The music of Stravinsky sends me up the wall lol. Me too. Thank you Glenn
I did not understand "sends me up the wall". Could you please explain?
@@elvengadordebronce it means it irritates him or drives him crazy...a variation on the expression drives me up the wall. And example of a noise that would do that is fingernails on scratching a chalkboard...
I love his introductions before performence
Can you describe the picture in the beginning of the vedio . The picture is in the left
This piece is new to me. Trying to ignore the intro I really enjoyed the Stravinsky.
Beautiful
Immenso !
Well, he doesn't like Stravinsky. He admits it. But most critics rank 'L'Histoire du soldat' as one of Stravinsky's masterpieces.
and thanks for the Journey Back to 1970s
"The ultimate sacrilege: bad voice leading" -- "Josquin's music rescored for Sesame Street" --- excellent!
Igor composed much sublime music that did not shy away from taking a revolutionary turn. This work is more witty than profound but i still find myself charmed. Don't forget, this is the man who thought Petula Clark's "Downtown" worthy of praise.
This is much easier to appreciate than most other of his works.
He had a crush on petula
@@saxoungrammaticus9132 although only at a respectable distance
Its interesting how Gould felt that Stravinsky was one of the most overrated composers of the 20th century. They actually met each other in the early 60s on a television program hosted by Leonard Bernstein.
Any footage of that exist? Was it a blood bath? Lol.
@@s.l5787 Apparently they got along. Stravinsky liked Gould a lot, presumably unaware of Gould's distaste for his music. No footage of them together in the program.
Honestly, Gould's criticism of a lot of music can paint him as a real bore but at the same time he does seem to have a sense of humor about it.
It would be really nice to list players’ names and more about the source of these wonderful recordings. I believe that the trumpet may be Fred Mills and Eugene Watts on trombone, founding members of Canadian Brass. Fred was a wonderful soul.
Adele Armin on violin, John Wyre percussion-- both gone...
💙
1:15 😂😂😂 that's amazing
The Stravinsky of “ The American Chamber Players”
Mor interest 💯. ( Loren Kitt. Elisabeth Adkins. Lambert Orkis. )
You must not seek to add to what you have what you once had
He wasn't kidding about Stravinsky's music, Stravinsky all but begged Gould to record his Capriccio for piano and orchestra but Gould refused to even look at the score!
Are you going to post the rest of the video too?
I wouldn't be surprised if Stravinsky drove Schoenberg up the wall too.
"Josquin des Pres rescored for Sesame Street" lol
I interpret a lot of stravinsky's music as a form of protest of the new soviet ideologies
3:20 - good god, Freddy Mills?!?!?
Lol the deep inhales before dropping... uh... bars, I guess?
Not sure Glenn actually has a distaste for Stravinsky, nor Mozart for that matter. Remember, everything he recorded was put out to get some kind of reaction, from his recordings to these talks. You can’t delve so deeply into a piece or subject if you don’t have an interest in it. Love this man!
I can't figure out his Mozart, but upon extensive reading, he did have a distaste for Stravinsky (who apparently ADORED Gould, calling him "the handsomest man he had ever seen). Stravinsky was in Toronto in the twilight of his life, and had gone out to dinner with Gould and a friend, courting Gould to play his piano concerto. Gould dodged the subject and left before dessert, pleading illness. His friendapparently lost it on him, when Gould said, "I handled that well, don't you think?"
La Valse!
What is in the picture in the beginning of the video can any one answer!!!!!!!
Por si a alguien le interesa, acabo de subir mi primera clase sobre la Historia del Soldado. Se puede consultar aquí: th-cam.com/video/lexGpfyOG0k/w-d-xo.html
Seasame Street lolololol
Фауст исты хочет
How I wish he’d recorded more Ravel and less Schoenberg.
Answer me or I will make a report
who cares for the picture? Enjoy the music!
I just wonder if it was polite and didn't contain bad things if you were able to describe it please tell me
Or guess
It is behind the chair
Make a report about what? Idiot.
By snubbing this score alone he proves to be a real bore.
Hard Pass
What arrogance and pomposity. Also a fundamental lack of understanding of the subtlety behind Stravinsky's deep understanding (and deliberate subversion) of voice-leading. It's very clever to mock, and Gould should have had a marker, brilliant though he was; perhaps a face-to-face encounter with the superior intelligence of the target.
Gould's understanding of theory is beyond what your puny brain can even fathom.
@@ignacioclerici5341 Indeed Stravinsky was a fan boy of Gould, as remarked here; Stravinsky never knew this but was fascinated by Gould both as a musician and person. On their first meeting in 1960 an affinity between the composer and the pianist was immediately manifest, which still perplexes me, as does Stravinsky's remark, "He is very handsome" - a word I never heard the composer use in reference to any other male. The two men breakfasted together in our Toronto hotel in 1962 and later sat and chatted as I [Craft] rehearsed the orchestra, the pianist soliciting the composer's opinions on such unlikely topics as the chamber music of Max Reger.
@@s.l5787 Yeah, Stravinsky was one of the greatest musical Genius of the Century and probably in history, gould was a probably the greatest pianist ever, but an unexceptional composer, which is were Genius is found
@@ignacioclerici5341 Stravinsky the greatest composer? That's quite a stretch. How would their genius be recognized if there are no performers? Composition has relatively few competitors, meanwhile it takes several decades of millions of pianists to produce someone at Gould's caliber.
@@s.l5787 read again, i said one of the greatest, not the greatest
And no, playing the piano well isnt remotely as difficult, creative, and unlikely to write Great music
