Interpretazione geniale, quella di Glenn Gould, che apre inaudite prospettive e che però quasi nessuno dei pianisti delle ultime generazioni è stato in grado di raccogliere e sviluppare. Ogni singola nota ha un suo "peso specifico" che si inserisce in un fraseggio che coglie l'intima essenza della poetica beethoveniana. E' vero: c'è qua e là un vago scimmiottamento della scrittura beethoveniana.............ma funziona meravigliosamente. Come spesso accade in Gould, l'invenzione di nuovi "legato" e "staccato" conferisce una cifra stilistica rivoluzionaria.
00:00 I. Andante - Allegro - Tempo I - attaca 07:52 II. Allegro molto e vivace - attaca 09:53 III. Adagio con espressione - attaca 13:40 IV. Allegro vivace
One of Gould's last recordings. The 1st movement (marked andante but played adagissimo) is bizarre but beautiful. But then the allegro passage at 4:18 is off-the-charts gorgeous! No one has ever played the 2nd movement better. The clarity, the drive, the astonishing variety of detaché articulation. It's one of Gould's miracle performances. The adagio 3rd movement is slower than most performances, and stricter rhythmically, but Gould's tone and voicing are simply beautiful. The 4th movement is not quite up to the tempo of allegro vivace, but no matter. What fun Gould is having! This performance is one of the triumphs of his later performances. Thank you for posting!
Please keep publishing these marvelous clips and stories about Gould! I am fascinated by his life... It is tragic that nobody has found a recording of one of Beethoven's sonatas that Gould had a storied interpretation of; I think it was in A Major...
So, the Moonlight Sonata did not appear alone as Beethoven's opus 27 but as a number 2 to a number 1, this sonata. Let's have an interview with Mr. Beethoven about this. I've played this but to hear Gould is to enter another world altogether.
His phone bills routinely ran to four figures; from January through September of 1982, his last year, his phone bill ran to nearly 13 thousand dollars.

This is the only performance of this sonata I'll listen to. Everyone else plays it wrong.
Underrated AF

A literal staccato. You don't hear that very often with Beethoven Sonatas.
Wonderful

Again, dude, you love Gould. I do too. grazie.
This for sure on the Yamaha
A Glenn Gould phone conversation? Not only do I wonder what it’s like but also if you need to pay for long phone conversations, the bill.
His phone bills routinely ran to four figures; from January through September of 1982, his last year, his phone bill ran to nearly 13 thousand dollars.
@@danielpoulin9030 13,000 dollars.
He probably paid more in phone bills than for his piano.
@@danielpoulin9030 $13,000 in 1980 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $41,788.85, says The Almighty Google.
Much of this sounds merely weird, kind of like a kid tearing the wings off flies--because he can.

Too slow.
