Right as the piece blossomed at 1:50, I was deeply moved... He plays like his life depends on it. Like it's the last time he'll ever be allowed to play the piano.
Makes you wonder why on earth he didn't pursue his relationship with Beethoven's music. It really is quiet exceptional. His response to each turn is shows a quicksilver mind and quite extraordinary musical perception. Mind you JS Bach is also more than enough for one person's lifetime.
i think he absolutely pursued his interest in beethoven: he recorded all the concertos, and more than half of the sonatas. he has a great talk on Beethoven in one of the Gould - Humphrey Burton interviews, where he goes pretty in depth about why beethoven is awesome.
@Jordan Schlansky Right! Thank you for this comment and the comprehensive list. Gould was a serious musical theorist whose written scholarship includes essay "Glenn Gould Interviews Glenn Gould About Beethoven."
@@johnlanou oh just casual listening around, random. I listen for a few seconds and move back to Gould. Sorry cannot be more specific but I typically forget renditions I don't like.
By far the most uplifting and moving performance of this middle movement. His choice of tempi is absolutely perfect.
Oh Glenn. I never skip your second movements. 🖤😘

he is so beautiful, almost painful.

Otherworldly. Mystic.
Sublime genius, Glenn. I hope his immortal soul can sense my deep deep appreciation for his life, his music, his being.
@@blackcoffee7903 Yes! during the performance he becomes even more transcendent, more sublime.
@@charlotterose6724 -- Love that picture you have of his hands!
Just wonderful!
美しい…
魂が揺さぶられる。

GRAND DAD?
Gould is a master but this is certainly not Adagio. He races through the mid-section melody like it’s a children’s song.
John Lanou, it’s still sounds nice and is still well played
Yes, and I love the lightness and spark in Gould's interpretation. I've heard some adagio versions that sound like funeral marches.
@@phoebelinden9602 could you point me to some of those? I’m curious.
