Among other things, Gould's amazing memory also stands out in addition to his playing.

[casrifay]

How much one can learn on his playing and he’s highly articulate

[Robin-bklm]

Makes me just feel happy to see such a man play. And his whole body-voice is part of his music.

[stewartbrands]

When Glenn interprets a section of a piece he introduces a thick silent space into which his touch lets go a sound of pure beauty.

4:23-4:29 Bless the boom operator who made sure to pick up that sound Glenn is making. It gives me a reason to live.

Amazing player and person, genius. He almost is the music.

[sgerianda]

How fresh the genius always is.... Both of them, Glenn and Beethoven

[musiclover-lhhb]

I miss Glenn, need to visit the Toronto museum.

[pat]

Here exists the kind of brilliance that is indescribably eternal, a perfection in a medium that shouldn't ever be so

[lablous]

Guold humming while playing, sings the music. An artist

[waynejones]

So eccentric. Love his humming along with his playing, but so wonderful.

[journeymancellist]

The C minor is my favorite Beethoven concerto. I wish I’d heard him play the whole thing

[zummingsky]

This is definitely one of the best things I've come across on youtube. Thank you so much for sharing this gem.

[stapler]

"Yes, but you have this lust for blood, Humphrey..."

[alessioparone]

Really impressive Gould. Each time that I listen him I always am impressed and blessed by his powerful presence and powerful playing. I think he's really really good at piano and not only to play Bach but also the other composers. Great Gould and thanks to demonstrate that musicians like you can exist.
