Glenn Gould & Yehudi Menuhin - Bach, Sonata No. 4 in C minor (OFFICIAL) 

After Glenn's death, Yehudi Menuhin wrote of Glenn " . . . his was an ephemeral presence and only the recorded echoes of his thoughts and passions remain forever to enlighten and inspire us." I am so glad they made this recording.

Bach, Gould and Menuhim...no words can pay justice to their legacy...

Gould is something out of Central casting! The eccentric long-hair with all the relevant quirks. The mumbling, the facial tics and that stupid, beat up chair. Lol! What a character! The gloves, scrambled eggs, overcoats in July! What a wonderful KOOK! Oh, by the way, one of the greatest musicians the world has ever seen! My absolute hero and idol!

Not to be irreverent, but can you imagine how much fun this was for them? How lucky are we to be able to view this! Edit for spelling.

What a stroke of genius! The music composed by Bach, and performed by Gould and Menuhin, it doesn't get much better than this.

Never a day without Bach.

The collaboration of two of the finest musicians that ever lived.

ГЕНИЙ НАПИСАЛ МУЗЫКУ. ДВА ВЕЛИКИХ МУЗЫКАНТА ИСПОЛНИЛИ, а мы слушаем и впитываем в себя Энергию ВЕЛИКИХ МАСТЕРОВ.💥👍💥

My soul is elevated listening to this concert

This kind of music is not produced, is a revelation from God.

Love Menuhin’s inscrutable face-the music says it all

Two of my favourite musicians plays Bach ❤️❤️❤️❤️

marvelous, brilliant genius both Gleen Gould and Menuhin!!! I can listen thousands of times!

STRONG AND BEAUTIFUL! JUST PERFECT! TWO GREAT PERSONALITIES MATCH WITH THE BEAUTY OF BACH!

Glen and Yeudi are two pure geniuses.

Tres inmortales: Bach, Menuhin, Gould. No hace falta más para un disfrute pleno

Спасибо создателям канала за возможность слушать Баха в исполнении великих музыкантов. Прослушала сразу несколько раз взахлёб!

I enjoyed that they played facing one another rather than (when an audience is present) in typical concert formation. It makes for a more direct musical conversation.

Three Genius Bach Gould and Menuhin

Já perdi a conta de quantas vezes eu voltei aqui para assistir estes dois maravilhosos virtuosos tocando Bach. Todos no reino dos imortais

One of the GREATEST moments in 20th century. Very close to my birthday. Nice!

Two Great Musicians and the Divine Bach

A symbiotic performance. Refined and elegant!

I am puzzled by some of the comments below. I am a classical pianist, BM, MM in piano performance, studied with great teachers, and this channel is FABULOUS. I am playing Bach sonata in Emajor BWV 1035 for flute and piano (klavier). When I was learning it I listened a lot to Gould's performances of Bach such as this one, to help me find the right touch on the piano! Yes Menuhin has a more "old fashioned" approach to this music than one would hear now due to all the study over the past many decades now of the urtext editions, treatises, performances on original instruments, etc. But I find this performance lovely, and a wonderful duo!! Thank you for this Glenn Gould channel--when this was broadcast on the CBC I was 6 years old in Washington DC, heard lots of Bach as my dad was a composer, choir director, and music librarian, but we did not own a TV! (until a bit later....)

Brought tears to my eyes!!! Fantastic!

Se si ascoltasse più musica come questa il mondo andrebbe meglio...

Спасибо , волшебная музыка, чудесное исполнение...

Beautiful performance of this piece by my favorite musician,J.S. Bach!

Wow, what a treat! I also saw Menuhim a long time ago, he was so generous he kept playing each encore this was mid 80s. R. I. P. both of them. ❤❤❤💐💐💐🙏🙏🙏

Very nice, a dream of harmony and peace 🌺🎶...Bach

Exceptional. Stuns me every time.

So beautiful and bright

I have always loved Glenn's choice of performance chair ;)

I love all the music of Bach, it is the best and this Sonata blows my mind...

Потрясающе,гениально,божественно!.!!

Obviously, Glenn Gould's perfect dedication to the Johann Sebastian Bach's spirit! Thanks so much for sharing!

Both, such powerful forces. It's an almost perilous dynamic!

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 My favorite pianist(Glenn) and composer (Bach)

Oh my God, 1st movement is the music of Cosmos😍😍😍music of soul, not from this world 😍😍😍

Que dire ? La perfection. Un sentiment de bonheur.

Beautiful. What a start of the day.

Любовь и восторг!!!

Me encanta esta obra sin igual, la escucho todos los días sin falta y solo logra cautivar mi mente más y más...

I'll never understand the sad compulsion some people have to find genuinely compelling performances and leave comments like "This is an inept and weak performance," "He's not in the same class as X," "If you want to hear what this music is supposed to sound like, look up Y," or "Can't hold a candle to the immortal Z." 😐

Exzentrische Klavier-Legende trifft auf introviertes Geigengenie. Großartig!. Vielen Dank auch fürs Hochladen! Ich hatte bisher gelaubt, alle relevanten Bach-Aufnahmen von Mister Gould zu kennen. Dies war ein Irrtum, diese Aufnahme kannte ich nicht!

Memorabile esecuzione.

INMORTALIDAD: autor, obra y músicos. De colección! Para volver a ello una y otra vez

Thanks for shared!!!! It's great

Magnifique pianiste et violoniste merci à dieu d avoir créé de tels etres

Thanks for sharing, such a treasure!

이 귀한 음악 영상 올려주신분께 거듭 감사 !!

Merveilleux

Amazing!💗

Партия фортепиано исполнена очень очаровательно! Лучше чем партия скрипки.

Outstanding!

el sonido de Menuhin no tiene nombre, sencillamente monumental!

Beautiful👌

I prefer the Gould with Jaime Laredo performance but it's always wonderful to hear him. And this is beautiful in its way.

Momento de belleza eterna

Genial, bravísimo, muchas gracias, perfecta interpretación de Gran Maestrió, Johann Sebastian Bach!

so sweet

Magnificent ❤amazing composition and amazing performers ❤

I’m always amused at people who comment that a great musician like Menuhin plays “badly” or doesn’t understand the music, or .... It’s one thing to say you didn’t enjoy the performance, or understand it, but to raise oneself to a level above the musician is just a comment on one’s own smallness. Go ahead and correct the performer if you are a better musician by any other standards than your own misguided hubris. Otherwise, keep your humor to yourself.

OMG GUYS I FOUND A TREASURE!!!!1

Wonderful

Perfect combo

Una de las Sonatas más bellas ❤❤❤

Amazing 🥰😍💗

Браво

Magnifico

BELLISSIMO

Meraviglioso...

wow!

Gould,Menhuin e la musica di Bach si diffonde eterna bellezza della vita e dell'universo.

Belleza

感動を有難う♪

el genio de bach fue fuente de inspiración estoy segurisimo que muchos de estos compases fueron usados como fuente de las mas famosas melodias. se adivinan melodías de canciones del este europeo, de música gitana , de canciones de amor de occidente de musica de peliculas, etc . genial es tambien la seleccion que cada °plagiario° hizo gracias a BACH

If I close my eyes I hear more of what's happening in the music, which is a great deal.

❤❤❤

Great.......

🙏❤️

Durduk yere gözlerim yaşlandı.

Beautiful...remind the erbarme mein gott...passion mathieu 💗🔥

WoW❤

Maravilha

Cheers and Vivat for The Masters !

Allegro is my favorite

Bravo Yegudi,Bravo,Maestro !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The first movement sound pretty romantic to me

Kai and sparrow. I listen to this for you. I listen because if God gave us one gift it was this.

when in the very beginning gould interrupts menuhin, as soon as he cuts him off he drops his voice to match menuhin's pitch, so it doesn't feel interrupted. it took me a couple listens to understand the interaction

素晴らしい　私の　好きな曲です。

Gould is an expert at Bach and to compare the violin playing of Menuhin to Gould's piano playin is like comparing apples and oranges. Nonetheless they are both sweet in their own unique way.

First movement violin melody is strongly reminding me of the violin solo in Young Frankenstein...I suppose one should beg, borrow, or steal from the best.

To me this sounds like the beauty in suffering.

Sonata for 1 violin, 1 keyboard, ... and one voice ! :)

グールドの歌声が！きこえます。

💗🎶

I hear you, masters.🙏

Yes, yes , ahammm , yes ...
