There is nothing more pleasant than hearing a beautiful and educated woman speak on Gould.

I love his humming in the background! We need more souls like Gould's on this planet.

I think Gould was truly original or dared to be original. And took a different path. Which is never  easy. Requiring a lot courage. But perhaps the only way that genius arises.

Glenn Gould was a left handed man. We left handed people have an advantage in Bach's music because bach's compositions are mostly non melodic in nature but countrapunctal with the bass line taking a very important role if not the most important. Right handed people will delight in Mozart where there are far many more notes on the right hand.

The commentator was the woman who was so besotted with Gould that she got a Glenn Gould tattoo. I think it was on her back - but I'm not sure.

Wonderful close up of his fingers ... his meticulous observation of the individual voices is breathtaking  A huge lesson for me after many decades of playing Baroque music.

Gould was a musical poet. He saw and heard music everywhere, and never tried to impress anyone with his playing. And it was playing indeed; playing with music, not just playing music.

A teacher of mine once told me, “I wouldn’t study Gould. What he does works for Gould, but probably nobody else.”

what a very beautiful woman. Her beauty matches the beauty of the music.

Why did this get recommended to me?

Quite true.  Fortunately, no one else DOES play like him.

Shes lovely.

Uncredibly that Bruno Monsaingeon speaks Russian, just like that. I believe he mastered some 5 or 6 languages fluently.

Magnifica esecuzione

Sono innamorata di questa stupenda mente e della sua genialitá! Gli eroi muoiono all'alba o forse a mezzogiorno ma mai alla sera quando le ombra hanno ormai divorato l'anima.

The simple trick with Bach (and jazz too) is to not hear the piano as a machine but as a voice or cello or flute etc....anything but a piano!
