Passion
I recently listened to an MP3 recording of Bach's WTC Book I by Glenn Gould. I know the music well having listened so many times to the recordings by Andras Schiff and Angela Hewitt. Gould's recording was a revelation. While there is a considerable amount of ...

Teeming with classics
I purchased this for track #10, which I'd happened to hear on the radio...it stayed in my head until I tracked down the CD. I have a relatively basic working knowledge of classical music, so this long playing collection was an excellent and surprising introduction to ...

Glenn Gould Plays the French Suites
Bach composed the French Suites, BWV 812 --817, in his late-30s between 1722-1725 while living in Cothen (before his move to Leipzig). The first five of the six suites were written for Anna Magdalena, Bach's second wife. Opinions differ on the "French" character of ...
Bach: The Goldberg Variations
Johann Sebastian Bach
, Glenn Gould
CBS Recordings, 1990
Words cannot decribe it
I love Bach's music, and generally insist on two things; firstly, that it is played a little slower than we are generally served it; and secondly that it is played on traditional instruments. When I first heard Glenn Gould's 1981 recording, I realised how ridiculous ...

Really, so NO ONE in 1981 realized the analog tapes sounder better?
Most of us may remember the "perfect music forever" marketing that introduced CDs 25 years ago... those of us with working ears pretty quickly dismissed it for the hype it was... I've got both the '55 and '81 versions and now this release. I have NO regrets re the ...

An extraordinary experience
Glenn Gould Goldberg Variations (and not Goldenberg as a hidden tag read by my computer indicates)is a classic: the classic of the classic is his 1955 recording - so different from the 1985'one. The 1955 interpretation is not so analytical as the later one-but it is ...

Notes on the HANNIBAL Soundtrack
(from Sierra Vista AZ) People who are understandably reluctant to go to a film like HANNIBAL might assume that they wouldn't like the music either. But films that deal with serial killers often have sublime music.For example, COPYCAT with Sigourney Weaver & Holly ...
Partitas 4 5 & 6 - 70th Anniversary Edition
Glenn Gould,

Sony, 2002
ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING!!
The apogee of this recording is the toccata in e--the first movement of the e minor Partita, S. 830. This is one of the first recordings GG made for Columbia--immediately after the Goldberg Variations in 1955, and made the same year. Bach's "toccatas" contained ...

Get it while you can
Glenn Gould lives up to the sound bite given by George Szell -- "That nut is a genius." Gould's interpretations are controversial. Some detest his singing along with his playing. Others think he is too mannered, too idiosyncratic in his interpretations, still ...

Perfect Performances!
In these recordings, as is custom with his Bach, Gould attains a clarity and preciseness that border on perfection. The Preludes are played with vigor and perpetual momentum (see No. 2); the Sarabandes reflect Gould's great touch and emotion. As a musician, I hold ...

The best playing the best
What more can one say when Glenn Gould plays J. S. Bach? Two masters bringing out each other's finest: Bach is the song and Gould the instrument that vibrates through our souls with messages from the divine. I tell my kids that one of the best ways to get their ...

My Favorite WTC
The music of JS Bach is extremely interesting, and one thoughtful listening to his works has the power to change the way you hear and perceive music forever more. Bach's keyboard works are typically polyphonic, and that basically means two melodies, or more acurately ...

MONUMENT MORE LASTING THAN BRONZE
Forget bronze - all of Gould's Bach-playing that I have yet heard (probably most of it by now) is gold-medal stuff for me. However two thousand years ago another bachelor, Horace, was emboldened to claim permanence for what he left to us, and I don't feel it's ...

Another emblematic homage in Bach ` s memory!
Glenn Gould in mutual collaboration with Jaime Laredo and Leonard Rose, made a brilliant account of these well known Bach 's arrangements. Impeccable musicality, superb phrasing, flawless sonority, egregious intonation, unerring lyricism and superb expressiveness make ...
