The only reason i may listen to this a little less than you , though probably not much less , is that there's so much other Gould & Bach to listen to for hours 😊
Great fugue, triple fugue, so much cleverness and skill in this one. I love when the 16ths come in like some fantastic motor just driving this explosion of notes to it's conclusion. There is one point all 3 themes are on top of each other, just the highest art and skill there ever was. Gould is good on harpsichord, he had some register changes, amazing. I bet he would have been a fantastic organist too, imagine if he lived 20 more years, we will never know. He still manages to make each voice have its own character on this thing, I don't know how he does it, with flat fingers too, amazing.
@@97mesut I know! I was shocked to hear him play the organ, the first notes I heard were staccato on the organ and I just started laughing. Art of the Fugue, I wonder if he could have played all the preludes and fugues on organ, I bet he would have been fantastic.
@@pianosbloxworld4460 before i realized it, when I would listen to this at work with headphones on, I would just randomly hear it and be like "WHO on earth is tapping their computer keyboards so loud...!" lol
Then i watch a film about the holocaust or something dreadful & i can't believe in a God who would allow such things. Makes me think there's just nature & that's all ! Weird world we live in
@@pobinr The bad things that happen are from Satan and all the sins we make. Everyone keeps saying the bad things, but there are allot of good things aswel. God loves us so so much, that he gives let us decide to go to heaven. If you really believe that Jesus died on the cross for your sins, you are saved because you have no sins. Sins are very bad and can lead to many bad things. Again, all the bad things comes from Satan.

When we listen to this guy, Gould. And his command of virtually every keyboard work composed by Bach; his utter drive. I wonder, what in the world could Bach himself have been like to see, hear and know during his time on earth. The only thing for me that comes close. And really works?? Would have been coming face to face with the Master, Jesus the Christ. A stretch, of course. Because, Christ is God's Son. But, it's the only thing that describes these guys who perform like Glenn Gould. And so many others.
For me Gould is the only one who plays Bach like Bach. You can tell he feels every note, he cant stop singing, it is like it is his own blood, the notes just flow through him as if Bach was right there. I can stand Bach played like a sewing machine, Gould always has a rhythm and drive even in slow works the pulse is there, not dead, but alive.
@@trevjr Hey, GMJ. ' Giving you a guarded thumbs up. And perhaps, Andras Schiff comes even close. Certainly not Friedrick Gulda. But, he had his own brand of genius. Others have come along. And with Gould's ' blueprint '. Play Bach with the same distinguishing Mark's. Ivo Pogorelich, and Alexis Weissenberg. Minus the ' sing along '. There is no question about Gould's special mastery of Bach's entire output for keyboard instruments. But he, Gould tarnished his reputation by tampering with the works of the other great masters of that era. From the romantic, on up to the modern period. Messing with works in which he could have played every other performer under the table. With the exception of Horowitz, and William Kapell. If you can find it. Listen to Kapell's performance of Bach's Partita # 4. In D Major. He presages Gould by ten years or so. Had Kapell concentrated on Bach alone. Rather than devoting his love to Chopin and Rachmaninov. You wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Particularly when Gould elected to record Chopin's sonata in B minor. That War Horse performance and pressing by Kapell. Humm. I wonder why Gould chose to add this piece to his selection, of composers he looked down upon. When I do listen to Bach. The English and French Suites. The WTC in particular. I listen to Gould. No one comes close for me. His separation of voices while maintaining the musical line. Is matchless. And to accomplish this even in the fugues. Is unimaginable. But with the exception of the twelve tone people; Webern, Schoenberg and the like. ( it's like, who cares? ) He should have left off of Brahm's D minor concerto. And, Strauss' ' Burlesque '. The only Chopin he played within the ascribed tempo markings. Or, like ( with his approval of course ). Are a couple of the master's Impromtu's. Showing off his finger dexterity. And not unlike anyone else has performed these pieces. I can think of at least ten works I would love to hear him open up those hands of his. And slammed down on the big chords of Tschaikowsky and Rachmaninov. Even Max Reger's big ole hated by many, concerto. Yeah, we all love Gould's mastery. But his thinking? Not so much.
Tiene razón. Aunque, valdría la pena mencionar que GG tiene un un estudio de Haydn en clavicordio. De otros instrumentos aparte de Piano y Clavicordio, conozco una interpretación de The Art of the Fugue en órgano, pero nada más. Gould difícilmente salía del piano, lo cual no deja de ser triste y feliz a la vez.
I think if he had let the music stand be up then we wouldn't have had the terrible clicking noises (caused, I think, from the force of the jacks making the music stand clatter against the cover atop the jacks). Ah well, no help for it now!
This is very interesting, because while playing this fugue about three times faster, his interpretation of this fugue is very similar to that of Landowska. Compare to ua-cam.com/video/1-n9FZAqjDc/v-deo.html.
Sounds like a Pleyel harpsichord like Landowska played. Harsh goulush sound. Too bad Gould wasn't hip to authentic instruments and their beautiful and heavenly sound.
I mean... it's a harpsichord. Don't they kind of sound horrible by design? And if you're talking about the 'bass' tones, that's actually the sound of him humming.
What is this click we hear all the time? Such a bad harpsichord, and Glenn, stop singing, your voice gets in the way of the music... (guess it is too late now to tell him)
A real masterpiece - composed by a genius, played by a genius.
I could - and actually do - watch this for hours.
I'm responsible for at least 100 of the views 😉

Glenn on organ ua-cam.com/video/GnXHnEz94os/v-deo.html
He had early training as an organist which gave him an inclination for polyphony.
He has an album of the Art of Fugue (1-9) on the organ. Best organ playing I've ever heard.
He was a genius, who spent most of his life to reach the absolute perfection. And he did it. Love Gould and Bach together 🎶🎹💕💙

Love Gould's sense of rhythm in all his Bach performances. A beautiful dance.
I hear clicking for some reason why does this make it seem like a trap beat
@@pianosbloxworld4460 its most likely the sound of the notes clicking
Now this is amazing to watch! Gould on harpsichord is rarely seen!
I agree I hear occasional clicks that make this sound like an almost trap beat haha

I highly recommend giving Martha Argerich's Bach a listen. She is just a technical as Gould, but adds more flavour to the music.
If only Glenn played more on the harpsichord.
My thought exactly.

Have you heard The Handel suites? Wonderful! But this so close hearing Bach play this himself, thank god for Glenn and Bach🎶
@@christerholmgren5483 Yes! Those pieces are simply wonderful!
@@christerholmgren5483 Handel suites are wonderful. I love them, although I favor Richter/Gavrilov recording than Gould's.
This makes me feel proud to be a human.
A recording at the time when his piano was beeing repaired?
Are there pedals on the harpsichord?!?
I'm guessing for the top keyboard, bottom keyboard and both keyboards at the same time.
For the most part, no. Some modern harpsichords have pedals to change the registration without taking your hands off the keyboard but that's about it.
@@Isegawa2001 thanks for the info!!
i bet he loved playing that thing...
Transcendent.
Hello, do you know where I could find the entire concert (The Well-Tempered Listener) ?
Only a couple of wtc pieces he played on it. Unfortunate. This and wtc2 IX
Love.
2:22 Harpsichord with pedals?
They are used for choosing registers
It is a Wittmayer, a XX Century's harpsichord, not philological indeed, but very enjoyable for my own sake.
Um... where is the prelude?

Λείπεις πολύ μεγάλε...
NAI RE
wich one harpsichord is ^
sounds like Landowska's Pleyel, which I always loved
I think Glenn Gould used a small Wittmayer model.
2:05 Neapolitan FTW
It was commonly used i baroque music and first classicism, then replaced by the more dissonant and modulating augmented sixth
This is very interesting, because while playing this fugue about three times faster, his interpretation of this fugue is very similar to that of Landowska. Compare to ua-cam.com/video/1-n9FZAqjDc/v-deo.html.

積極的にノイズを利用してハープシコードの乏しい表現手段をルバートやリズムを崩す事なく補おうという事ではないでしょうか？近年ノイズを積極的に利用した録音する人も増えているようです。声がなくてもグールドとわかる楽曲全体を表現した演奏。というかお金あるんだからピアノと同サイズ鍵盤のなるべく音が大きく出るクラヴィコードを特注すれば良かったと思う。
チェンバロはグールドのタッチは受付ん。その証拠にガシャガシャ雑音がする。タッチが強すぎるし、ストップの扱いもオーセンティックではない。イメージダウンした。残念や。
おっしゃるとおりです。
楽器自体にも問題があるのでしょうけど、グールドのピアノ演奏の最大の魅力であるあのタッチが、チェンバロには向いていないのですね。
グールドがピアノで弾くバッハの鍵盤曲はどれも完璧に美しく、感動で鳥肌がたち、ときには涙ぐむほど大好きです。
だからこそ、このチェンバロの演奏は残念です。
本当に残念…。
Yikes! Much better on the piano
Very mechanical. Sewing machine interpretation. The sound of this harpsichord is horrible.
I mean... it's a harpsichord. Don't they kind of sound horrible by design? And if you're talking about the 'bass' tones, that's actually the sound of him humming.
You know, his famous Steinway sounded terrible too.
Glenn Gould once said, "It's not about sound. It's music."
U sir are a damn fool.
Right, it s mechanical, but nobody could play Bach that mechanically, also clinically.
Very mechanical. Sewing machine of life interpretation. The sound of this harpsichord is delightfully grungy.
