[galeritaelenora]

Abandoned and controlled.
Passionate and technical.
Historical and brand new.
Glenn Gould immortal human.

Did you know an octopus has a brain for each tentacle? Glenn Gould has a brain for each finger.

What makes this man the best is I know when I click on something new I've never seen him play its not going to sound like the countless other reditions, it will sound unique and this is a prime example. Like Mozarts Turkish March he made it OG and I love it.

[ryanturner]

Actually really like his interpretation. Cut out repeats, and an interesting tempo. But he gives life to the piece at this tempo. Truly a special pianist.

[horatiodreamt]

Gould's tempo here is good. He makes the piece sound restless and intense.

[galinaprozorova]

Играет как хочет, а ведь убеждает. Браво Гленн!

[flouz]

he really gave a meaning to this sonata's name

[BachIdealized]

Actually, I think ALL his Beethoven Sonatas are fantastic

[pobinr]

As always he makes a piece sound special

È davvero difficile non rimanere contagiati da così tanta, pura gioia...

17-я соната Бетховена для меня что-то мистическое и запредельное. Хоть и весь Бетховен для меня - это магия, обнаженная душа... Никто из композиторов не имеет больше на меня такого магического воздействия. Ну если только, но не в такой степени, может быть, еще Григ. Это исполнение 17-й сонаты считаю лучшим. У меня просто замирает душа. Я переслушала ее исполнение всеми известными пианистами - моим любимым Рихтером, Ашкенази, Баренбоймом и десятками других. Но это - невероятное просто. Самое сильное, пронзительное и пробирающее до мурашек. Даже не знаю почему. Для меня это именно тот ритм, то звучание, то настроение... И кстати, у Гульда есть более поздняя запись этой же сонаты, но вот она мне нравится уже меньше. Слишком быстрый темп там по-моему. И вообще как-то не так пронзительно звучит. Здесь же - просто уникальный музыкальный шедевр.

Always masterly!! Lovely interpreter. Thank you.

[valeriymoskalenko]

До чего-же мне нравится это исполнение, для меня это просто вершина исполнения зтой сонаты...Так неумолимо пробегает Время.

[r.i.p.volodya]

The best performance of this piece that I know.

I just listened to three consecutive videos in which Glenn Gould states his case against too much variation within tempo (faster, slower pulse) in performance of Beethoven's music. First reference is to Beethoven's Concerto in C minor. Gould demonstrates as he plays piano and orchestral lines, sometimes adding more by singing. The second and third videos address Beethoven's "Tempest Sonata" The cohesive effect of consistent tempo is obvious. Any student of musical performance would benefit from listening to Gould's insights. Great privilege to be here today. Thank you!

[brandonmacey]

I love Glenn Gould and I don't care who knows it

[serawang]

Totally amazing. After listening to Glenn's performance, all other performances sounded flat.
