    I feel sorrow, loneliness, melancholy, and recollection of the past. The beauty and spirituality of the music is revealed when it acknowledges all of those feelings, and provides a mellow intimacy of gratefulness, contentment, and companionship. Life-affirming and celestial are my best descriptions of this masterpiece

    this fugue is the most touching piece among the 24 fugues in the two volumes by Bach, it's good to hear someone paying so much attention to its emotional and contrapuntal details which are not necessarily given its due by other pianists, even some Bach specialist aren't so aware of its emotional depth and beauty.

      Hmmmmm nah, I'd say the 4th fugue (1st volume) is just the absolute best out of all in every sense, 5 voices, 3 themes, the 2nd longest fugue (depending also on which speed you decide to play it) constantly increasing completely, exaggerated amount of colours in the piece. Just perfection

      @@sebastianciarfella3061 his interpretation of the c# minor fugue from book 1 is kinda comical. The playing itself is incredible considering the level of detail kept at such a fast tempo. I personally prefer the interpretation from the channel smalin even though it's a compilation of vocoder recordings. Overall, the c# minor fugue is quite serious in manner (even Gould's version comes off, to me, as a scooby doo mystery). However, the E major fugue here feels like home..

    Glenn Gould polarizes the audience. I don't mind his strange behaviours, in the opposite, in our times where everybody tends to try acting, looking and speaking "cool", he just immersed into the music on a level of intensity that is rare. The beauty that flows of every note of Bach is making even stones cry.

    He most probably is not the greatest player of them all, but he's the only one, who accomplished to make me enjoy, love, watch and listen to this kind of classic music, of which I'm not a big fan to begin with, again and again for years now. As this is something that is not only happening to me, but also to a ton of others in the audience,. he indeed has something special to offer. He's able to transport that specialty of him and the magic of the music to the listeners, that no one else can in his special unique way. Not only his idiosyncratic style of playing, which though underlines and transports his deep passion, love and respect from him for the composer and the craftsmanship of this masterpieces, forwards this directly over to the audience. There is a thin line between genius and madness that is just mesmerizing and fascinating.

    This fugue is written in 4 part structure with each voice is treated independently, almost chorally. In a fugue, the subject is the main thing being stated, and each voice gets the chance to speak that subject. The counter subject is basically the accompanying conversation that goes along with the subject. The subject starts in the bass, and works its way to the tenor, alto and soprano line. For a good explanation, look for the video of Glenn talking about this piece.

    Gould plays the piano as though it was an organ….he controls the sonority so that every single note is heard, which is an insane accomplishment. A lot of concert pianists can obviously play Bach’s music, but there are far too many who actually-incomprehensibly!-use the sustain pedal, pummeling the gorgeous contrapuntal framework into a mass of mush. There are commenters who rave about the exhibitions, and all I can think is that their minds can’t make any sense of what’s going on. In Gould’s genius hands, the music is so pristine, so crystalline, so heartbreakingly gorgeous, that I often forget to breathe.

    Yes. These version was recorded in 57, with partitas 5-6. So Glenn Gould made 4 recordings of this fugue:
    1.1957 - Audio with Partitas 5/6
    2.1963 - Audio of the complete WTC
    3.(-) - Video in a modern harpsichord
    4.1976-1981 - This Video, part of Glenn Gould plays Bach series
    Thanks!

    Playing that speed-slow is much more difficult ! Glen gould : trippatif !
    Merci à ce génie.

    Of all Bach's music, all of Glenn Gould's interpretations, this one simply makes me speechless, even sad. It is as if a whole life is told in one short piece of music. I was listening to this at a Cape Cod beach sunrise, alone. The feeling transcended words or even emotions.
    BTW, does anyone know if there is a CD/audio version of this? I bought a Sony released Well Tempered Clavier by Gould, but in that he plays much faster. I'd much prefer this tempo.

      HeyIt'sBrian i think it's not exactly this recording but it's quite similar to this one

      There is a version so similar to this included in an early recording of the partitas nos 5 & 6. But this is, without doubt, his best.

      When I was in college I would walk a lot and think. When I felt lost I would always play this fugue on my headphones and it would bring me back to Terra Firma, like walking through a labyrinth.

    This interpretation is unique. Its hard to listen to the same piece of music again by other performers without missing the intensity and expression by GG

    Glenn Gould is one, a genius and a thinker with a truly incredible potential given by God. He then worked for himself and to please his egocentric self, which was out of his time. that is why he is so special and incredible any time anyone witnesses him.
