Part 2, in which he makes a rough mix of this recording, is posted as a video response here:

It's great that in the last part of his life he got to indulge in practical applications of his theories about music. He seems so happy here.

Not only is it wonderful to see Glenn Gould indulge in Scriabins work but he was also a master at it.

@drvonkrankmeister8094 3 года назад

He uses the auditorium because if its acoustics. This recording is resonant yet crisp. Scriabin reborn! Gould rules.

Man, how cool is this?! I think Gould made the right decision to leave the concert stage to follow his recording Desire, Yes a pun intended!

this is so beautiful...

I think I recall a tongue in cheek moment in an interview wherein Gould grinningly implied that his condemnation of live performance as a dead art-form and one that separates the audience from the intimacy of a performance was also a convenient justification for his own personal discomfort with it.

this is an exelent pianist... he play magnificent bach´s music, so its weird when he goes on scriabin music it sounds exelent! a complete pianist

Noticed he mentioned Oscar Peterson and was curious if there'd ever been much of a connection and found this, a quote from Oscar Peterson: "I met him once. We were talking about doing a show for the CBC here... we were in the throes of putting the show together... as to what we were going to do musically and otherwise and I was made aware that very day he died."

Un Gould tardivo alla ricerca di nuove emozioni

I think Gould played wonderfully the music he liked from an intelectual standpoint. The music he didnt like, he played awfully. I wish he had a broader interest of the piano repertoire, as a Richter did, that way we would have been blessed with an unrivaled legacy of the entire piano literature.

@wiccalite 3 года назад

Yes, but Richter and Gould were very different creatures. Richter was a fabulous communicator and understood his audience. GG communicated on his own terms and we know what he thought about audiences. Thank God for both of them.

Never heard him play anything awfully. And I've heard it all. Granted, he was a late bloomer, his teen recordings aren't good. But all the rest... Love his Mozart sonatas. Best KV 491 ever recorded. The Appassionata is stimulating, and the second movement sounds sooo sensual. His first Brahms concerto has awesome moments. Love his third Chopin sonata. The Burkeske and the Konzertstück are stupendous. Never heard a better Art of the Fugue at the organ. These are his most controversial recordings and I love them all. So "awful playing"? Not for me!!

Este video demuestra ,en palabra y accion del maestro Gould algo que mucho comentarista en RU-vid usualmente desconoce y por ello en vez de discutir detalles tecnicos o esteticos sobre un interprete se dedican a escribir tonteras o incluso insultos.El detalle que revela Gould es que no se puede comparar una interpretacion con otra por diferencias tecnicas o de edad de grabacion ,o por las ideas interpretativas del artista,que son sus propios y valiosso aportes al arte musical.

@Davidfooterman 11 лет назад

I agree. Do most pianists hear the acoustic nuances? The resolution of their concentration is in longer phrases. Details, like passing notes of Bach, are placed perfectly but not heard musically from one to the next. Can sensual brain process that fast, or is it left to muscle memory and H-I coordination to get it done, with ear coming in when a wrong note occurs? Maybe. Then how do GG or Mich do it? By OCD prepn of every note before the fact. They wanted extra acousticsl, and Scriabin needs it

@purplepeoplepurple 10 лет назад

What is he doing with those chords in the left hand beginning at 5:10? He seems to roll two of them that are not marked that way in the score, then adds extra notes in the final three rolled chords.

@paranoidjones 15 лет назад

However I think he makes a good point about having to magnify aspects of your performance to make them perceivable to those sitting in the back row, whereas on recording one can play 'for one's own ears' as it were, and share the experience with potentially vast numbers of listeners.

Exquisite

@BuckyBrown-lt4ry 6 лет назад

He is an excellent player - but no Liberace!!!

@Dizzyfingers2 Год назад

I never noticed how Gould's right ear is completely different than his left ...it's completely flat with nor contour at all ... was there a deformity?

"a very technologically innovative way. " - putting the mikes in different places !!

@KosmasLapatas 6 лет назад

lsbrother for his time it was rocket science

@charlotterose6724 5 лет назад

Haha! Well, there was a little more to it than that..... in the editing studio, they took volume of the different mikes up and down, so that the listener would hear the sound of the piano moving closer and further away, much like using a camera to zoom in and out of a movie scene.

@tnmtemerity 15 лет назад

well, whatever his reasons - he was decidedly anti-live performance. This was obviously recorded in an auditorium and not a recording studio. He is on "record" more than once claiming he didn't like concerts because they make the performer god-like and he wanted a more intimate experience.

@gymgymgymgym 13 лет назад

Why is he playing it so loudly ?

@tnmtemerity 16 лет назад

I find it interesting that he is using a performing space. Considering he was anti-performance. I'd think it would be against his values to utilize the performance space for recording.

@windowsmizu416 2 года назад

The audience is what makes it a performance. He uses the hall because of it's acoustics and predictability to get the best takes from each mic for their 'distance editing' you could perhaps call it.

@lecheparavaka 13 лет назад

music starts at 3:54
