Это чудо, что Гленн Гульд посетил нашу страну и был искренне увлечен музыкой, историей, литературой. Твоё сердце навсегда с нами, Гленн! 🔥❤️ Без ума от твоей музыки были все, кто попал на концерты, и поколения сменились, но все осталось по-прежнему.

[@ssprokofiev]

Very interesting! Gould was a most erudite musician. And of course he was a great pianist too.

[@Miaskofiev]

Glenn hits the nail on the head here: "There has been in my view, only one composer resident in the Soviet Union who can indisputably be termed a genius. He is Sergei Prokofiev, and again, in my opinion, after Tchaikovsky, the most important of all Russian composers."

I love it when my hot takes come flying out of Gould’s mouth 😳😂

It's great to see Gould talking about the USSR music with a samovar ! 😁

[@fmoll2509]

Да, это прекрасно и умилительно. Мы тронули душу Гленна. Самовар этому свидетель 🥰.

[@not2tees]

A samovar . . . of course Gould would have a samovar for his discussion of the Soviet Music Critics and the rights of man. He tends to kill me!

[@mermaid9906]

Coffe or tea?

[@punkpoetry]

Samovar is a teapot, it's never used for coffee

2:46 Tchaikovsky better than Rachmaninov, Stravinsky and Shostakovich?

[@jamesforrest5318]

Utter nonsense.
