1:47 his hands move as if they are performing a choreographed dance, and each keystroke is executed with such precise care and intention... this is what every pianist should strive for
I love to watch this man play these Goldberg Variations over and over❤! His extremely long fingers bounce among the keys, while you see-sometimes hear-him sing the notes with joy, sometimes with seriousness, but never hitting the wrong key! He is an unusual marvel!!
I first heard this Glenn Gould performance on an LP in 1954. Later I got to meet him after a concert at the UW/Madison in the 1960s. There he was introducing us to some contemporary Russian composers. Some of my most treasured piano CDs are Gould performances.
What a blessing to have these recordings. Thanks to all those responsible.
rkbtex My thoughts exactly!
Счастлвы те кто умеют слушать .
❤
This is absolutely a treasure to listen to and an historic one!
Glenn played Bach on another level
That's right!!
Glen played Bach on Bach's level. They both are the Envoys.
by going to broadcasting and recording only, Gould made himself eternal. great choice
Да, выбор правильный. Мы теперь богачи!!
Glenn Gould is a genuis! It blows my mind that anyone can play so perfectly.
Ever so often true genius reveals itself. I've read and listened to all I can find on this phenomenal musician.....truly stands amongst the finest interpreters of classical music.
My I suggest a novel "The loser ", by Thomas Bernhard.
@@anatabatadze8727 why this novel?
Sia reso noto a tutti che la Musica Terapeutica di Bach mi ha aiutato a sconfiggere la mia Depressione. Soli Deo Gloria onore al grande Kappellmeister di Lipsia ❤😊
I ❤️ Glenn and his Bach's playing. Heaven's music.
Послушайте как играет Баха Карл Рихтер!
@@cweta4917 I don't understand 😟
@@cweta4917 ну во-первых Святослав, а не Карл. Далее Рихтер говорил, что мог бы постараться сыграть не хуже Гульда, если бы много и усердно позанимался. Так что не надо тут ля ля, карлуша.
I am very happy to hear what Glenn Gould felt about Bach’s composition 2 centuries hence. His passion for the writing means more to me than any scholar’s ‘proof’ of intent possibly can.
Each of Gould's hands had their own unique and separate way of communicating musical language.
Glenn Gould era d'un altro mondo....il suo spirito viaggiava con le note. La sua Anima quando suonava, era legata al cielo infinito...là dove nasce la musica, il linguaggio degli Angeli, esseri di Luce.
Гггггггггнннн
Si,perfecta expoxicionee!!
Отлично сказано! И его душа теперь с нами, в каждой из наших душ, вместе с его музыкой.. 💕
@@fmoll2509 Si. Io posso capire, Mia figlia era autistica come lui. Noi tutti siamo in Dio, ed a Dio facciamo ritoeno!
Si, si, si, certo 👍💐 from 🇨🇦
Such exquisitely precise finger articulation, and in the rarified atmosphere of a genius at the keyboard.
Outstanding version. Probably the best. Gould's Bach is perfect.
Never heard more beautiful thing as the Quodlibet at the end of this clip. It is the synopsis of the Goldberg variations. Thank you, Glen, and thanks to the poster. I am happy.
The quodlibet is absolutely majestic. IMHO, the Goldberg variations should end with it. Repeating the aria detracts from the incredibleness of the sequence of variations, and the marvelous 30th variation, which is its magnificent apotheosis.
Glenn Gould having a VEVO would be like da Vinci having a deviantart account
Do you mean Leonardo? The man didn't have a family name because he was born out of wedlock and his father never recognised him as his son.
Brilliant.
Christophe S to quote Tyler the creator, “ok.”
Gould interrupting his celestial profundities with mere English verbiage is like being handed a candle from Thor in the middle of a thunderstorm
Christophe
From Canada with loving Bach!! OMG the phrasing from the very first variations theme is unbelievable.
Thanks Glenn...we love your music
how splendid, those close shots of his hands ...
Inspired by his splendid performance ,
I will dream of nostalgic my late beloved mother who deeply loved this work .
It's a memory from a long , long time ago
This masterpiece he plays digs up old memories .
From
Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵
The summit of all music ever written, read, and played. Never was, or will be something so mind-entangling soul stirring elating and awing.
Love that Gould choose to play all the cannons in sequence. You gotta love Bach's rigorous ability to create such highly artistic cannons on all the scale degrees. That must've made him one hell of an improviser. Would be interesting to see what he could've done past the 9th interval or even on the accidentals.
In many recordings, the voice of GG is in background....he lives it!
Quite true...!
굴드는 환상의 피아니스트 - 말로 표현할수없이 경이롭고도 감탄스럽습니다
Bach and Gould contributions to humanity are at the pinnacles of human achievements.
@John Wong With the exception of everything that Beethoven lived, breathed, said or wrote.
For me there are more exceptions than Beethoven, that is great! For instance, Brahms, Wagner, Chopin, Schubert... and so more.
Not just Bach, treat yourself to Glen performing, Beethoven 's piano concerto 5, he was flat perfect there, and it happens to be the best piano concerto ever, brilliance.
Magnifique, inégalable le génie de Glenn Gould
Я так люблю, когда на записях Гленна слышно, как он напевает - просто чудо. Надеюсь, что там, где он сейчас, все чувствуют такую же любовь и гармонию, когда Гленн Гульден играет Баха, а он играет, я уверена, Бах - музыкант вселенной❤️

Согласно Библии все умершие находятся в своих могилах а спасенные из них восстанут из могил в день Пришествия Иисуса Христа. Так что он пока ничего не чувствует "там", но будем надеяться , что он спасен.
Трехголосные инвенции в его исполнении были когда-то моей любимой пластинкой. Причем эта запись была сделана во время его визита в СССР. Через много лет я купил диск с его исполнением инвенций в более зрелом возрасте - но не то! Разыскал московскую запись в интернете и до сих пор наслаждаюсь.
Oh God, years of listening and this is the first time I heard him speaking
He is a musicologist as well.
We can hear him singing as well. His voice is very lovely.
GENIUS
My absolute favorite.
Bach, the greatest! Gold the greatest interpreter of Bach!
Glen Gould is GOLD !
Gold was the original family name, but it was changed (a generation or two before Glenn) because the family didn't want to be mistaken as Jewish.
@@jamesorr6537 That's right!
A brain in every finger!
In every spider finger
A gift from God on every finger, and I'm Atheist.

literally an Octopus
Gouldberg variations
very very beatiful this Variations !
I have heard many versions of the variations and this specific recording takes them all
One word...Amazing.
Like Samson and his hair, Gould gained his supernatural ability from his mystical chair! Crafted from wood found on the upper slopes of Mt. Olympus! Touched by the hands of Orpheus himself! LIke the hammer of Thor, the chair would fly any distance, break through any wall or obstacle at the raising of Gould's hand! Even now, the chair sits bolted to a museum floor, to prevent it flying to rest upon Glenn Gould's grave!
Except that Glenn was never super strong or a Norse god. And if Orpheus found out about its power, he’d take the chair himself.
Incredible stuff- TX for posting this.
Glenn Gold plays the Gouldberg Variations 😍
El mejor intèrprete de Bach de todos los tiempos¡¡¡
Verissimo
I love hearing him speak !! ( Although I don't think I've ever understood a word he's said)
absolutely brilliant!
Glenn Gould è,senza alcuna ombra di dubbio, il più grande pianista del ventesimo secolo .
Rachmaninof ?
J’appuie les 2 commentaires précédents. Un bonheur !
asombrosa técnica.....maestro del contrapunto....
Genius Gould made difficult things looked easy.
Passion , frustration , and devotion . Der perfekte Masochist .
@ Fritz Maisenbacher il Suo giudizio è espresso in "chiave" musicale o in "chiave" psichiatrica? Mi fermo su questi due argomenti, ma confido in una Sua illuminante risposta che possa spaziare anche in altri campi. Grazie V.V. -:)
Comment ? du tout petit moi que je suis ? avec mes petites couleurs où je m'exprime ? j'entends un artiste qui vit à merveille la musique et qui sait la transmettre du mieux possible !! bravo Mr Glenn Gould ! vous êtes un magicien ❤❤❤❤❤
Какое счастье, что он был,есть и всегда будет с нами! Спасибо, Глен!

素晴らしい演奏👏👏👏
Diese absolute Präzision ist himmlisch!
Genie halt
Bravo, maestro!
Brilliant! Thanks for sharing it.
Glenn Gould? I love his work. I listened to his Goldberg Variations to parse through &
mai ascoltato prima,'bravissimo.
When someone suggested to include this recording on the Voyager traveling to outer space, it was rejected : " it would be bragging."
I don’t blame the person who rejected it.
Although if the aliens knew, they’d be mad.
Ideal, genius...
Fantastic!!!
this dude kicks ass
This guy is either a. Not human
B. A reincarnation of Bach..
*who is not human.*
😂😂agreed
Amo essa peça do Bach. Principalmente essa aria introdutória!
The chair, the man and the piano?
I close my eyes and feel
The immortality of the artist.
Each note is a gift from God.
And I am an atheist.
An atheist that recognizes the importance of feelings, a rare breed indeed
Atheist grace to God... 😇
I add my tears x
@@dallinfullmer3073 ~ No, not at all. There are many many atheists who have a lot of empathy.
Such a God given talent-What a shame we lost him at 50!
Gouldberg variations. He has the best finger independency of all the pianists
Talll Paul I agree, what this man has done can only be surpassed by another nut like him.
I am saddened and joyous that I am the first to recognize (or at least comment) on that homage to Bernstein:))
It's pure mythology the independence of the fingers !!!! No human, pianists or not, has independent fingers ...
It's not because the fingers do not do the same movement that they are independent.... It's the BRAIN that controls, nothing else !
Esse é ponto!!!!!
Feeling and emotion in every finger
comme c'est juste et parfait, comme c'est beau
The faster the tempo the clearer his playing gets. A seemingly non-human level of skill and ability. Easily in the top 8 pianists in human history.
You forgot Emil Gilels. He was indeed among the the best.
@@ResetZero315 please, you are forgetting Artur Rubinstein!
Artur Schnabel, Samuil Feinberg (for me the real interpret of Bach), Barere, Horowitz, Nyiregyhazy, Tamarkina, Friedman, Sofronitzky, HJ Lim, Kate Liu, Rosita Renard, Lhevinne, Godowsky, and perhaps Mr.Gould, when our friend accepted to loose control. Especially by live concerts, his torture, and my favorites.
@@Fritz_Maisenbacher Fritz Maisenbacher I love your additions. Just because I want to think really hard right now, I will try to even it down on paper to the top 2 Pianists that we have recordings of. _______ I did it, and I've landed on Vladimir Sofrinitsky, Grigory Sokolov. I could never be able to think hard enough to figure out who the #1 would be though...
@@rampgamercracka4258
For me, Mr. Sokolov is too heavy. And sometimes rather vulgar.
Beautiful piano playing :)
Merveilleux!
immenso nel riportare la grandezza con semplicità e puntualità unica .........NOTE LIBERE ...tutte quante con la stessa importanza .... LO AMO !!!!
Beautiful piano playing ! Thank you for posting !
I can't not think of Silence of the Lambs every time I hear this
Beau ! Beau ! Splendid .la musique vit et fait vivre !!
Bach pieces are so pleasant to listen to
Nice！Peaceful！
he plays that 3rd variation so good.............
Maravilloso!
Ahh yes the iconic Glenn with his chair.
"He had to sit exactly 14 inches above the floor, and would play concerts only with the chair his father had made. He used this chair even when the seat was completely worn. His chair is so closely identified with him that it is shown in a place of honour in a glass case at the National Library of Canada."
To those who has the honor of being in his presence and catching the sight and sounds of him singing along were truly blessed.
The sad side to Glenn was he has so much anxiety, and constant self-medication was unfortunately his downfall from suffering a stroke two days after he turned 50. May he rest in peace.
Glenn Gould said that he would stop playing piano when he was 50. He had played everything he wanted then. And truly he did. Seems he knew what would happen...
Yes, and even more fittingly, his last recording was of the Goldbergs, reflecting, perhaps, the Aria da capo in the Variations.
His last recording wasn't the Goldberg Variations. That's an urban myth. The last piece he recorded was Strauss'early sonata.
grazie
Magnifique....BACH !!!
The greatest pianist ever in my opinion.
Ditto . . And he's such a lovely man.
Indeed!
Yes
For playing Bach...
Cicliste C
Fascinating choice of Horowitz-Mozart, but there is truth in this.
Indeed!
Could watch those fingers playing all day long…
Magnifico heb hier geen woorden voor
Bravoooo!
Lovely
Unreal
"Let's not waste time hearing it again...." genius comment, surely Bach laughed? I hope they have met, but fear Bach may have been re-incarnated and Glenn just missed him!
I am crazy about his playing all these pieces of music.
grazie di nuovo
Охренеть, ведь он это всё воспроизводит по памяти, причем идеально.
Чувак, он вообще-то Гений)) 😄
Не зря я его подозревал!
@@user-wy4di8jl3v таки, у нас, у русских, чуйка на гениев 😜
Господи! Он ещё и такой красивый!!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Personne arrive à son niveau avec les variations.... pour moi c'est le meilleur pianiste du 20e S. Merci Monsieur Gould.
Je suis bien d'accord--mais a Gould n'importez pas...
Una obra maestra, pienso que seria lo único por lo que los extraterrestres nos dejarían vivir, para que exista otro Bach! y la interpretación, magistral.
Disculpe sr Carrillo .... como es que sabe usted que no hay ningún Bach entre los extraterrestres.... saludos.
Glenn Gould...The Master Blaster!!!...Plays everything from memory...No sheet music anywhere in site...
Глен Гульд неповторимый исполнитель Баха .
no words ...
Tutti i giorni sono con te!
Sono completamente d'accordo!!!!
The "GOULDberg variations" is the best music I've ever heard 🌹.. No more, no less. Thank God for everything 🙏.
He did two, well, canonical versions, one when he was young in 1964 or so, another very different one almost fifty years later.
The second one lft me very much with the feeling that he had completed some piece of work he was working on for decades and now he could give himselfpermission to die.
Both versions of course superb!
@@TheDavidlloydjones Thank you, I know. I love both versions.
