Note: If you want to translate the captions for your local language using the automatic translation, please select "English: Without German Accent" at the "Translate from" field. Why? Because Glenn Gould speaks with German accent on this video, and change some words. For example: instead of "them", he speaks "zem". If you chose the caption track "English: Original" to translate, the automatic translator will get confused and probably many errors will appear.
He's having so much fun. This is great.
Fantastic singing! Some of his very best singing ever.
A monster interpreting a monster! This guy makes a single instrument sound as full as a whole orchestra! One of the very greatest indeed....
y en espanol ? Porque en ingles ?
"Monster"? Only to dwarfish characters.
Glenn Gould plays and smiles like an angel.
How transparent it has become through his interpretation!
Everytime im driving in my truck and Die Meistersinger comes on the Radio i always turn it up full volume and exclaim "Meistersinger?...what else!"
Gould playing Wagner on the piano and I love it. It feels like a guilty pleasure.
How can you dislike this ? This is pure smiles, pure ecstasy ! Glenn Gould is an angel!
Oh! REALLY! 😂❤
Let The Man.
He is the Singer!

The Meistersinger prelude is the best and greatest polyphonic music not written by J. S. Bach. I think that was the main attraction to Mr Gould. Notice how the polyphonic structure of the music is much clearer here than in orchestral performances.
Agreed
Especially beautiful aria Hans Sachs, which sings Glenn Gould 🤣
Mr Gould speaks the very same way he plays. Very articulate.
showman
Was thinking the same thing
This musician makes me happy
The joyous essence of being.his uttered words.i do agree
Glenn Gould was the real deal. Holy mackerel..
Glen, you made the world a much better place. May God be with you and you be with Him. Rest in peace my good fellow. Hope to see you in the beyond. RIP. 🙏
2:49 The nice thing is that Gould is actually singing an additive voice to the music, which is NOT in the score .... this is wonderful ...
sehr schön beobachtet :D
Seldom seen someone so happy ... This is what music is all about, and Gould knew it better than anyone else!
I don't see why people often complain about Gould humming, especially here. Gould's humming is what I normally do when I listen to music as beautiful as this as well, only that I restrain myself from doing it in public so loud. When I'm watching and listening to this video at home, I find myself humming or even singing loudly the same lines as Gould is doing!
As always, I enjoy Gould singing along just as much (if not more) as his playing. I am absolutely in love with him. :)
Bruno Monsaingeon. He's a French violinist who's made some terrific documentaries on Gould and other great musicians like Richter, Oistrakh, and Menuhin.
THAT COUNTERPOINT!
He takes so much joy in music.
I just can't feel anything except happiness for Gould and being unbelievably jealous for Monsangeon ....for witnessing that masterpiece...
3:40 perhaps the only known moment on film where a "normal genious pianist" sings louder than his own instrument
Would Wagner laugh? He was a German...... Great interpretation. Nice to find a sense of humour in classical music. Look, this bloke can talk and play the piano at the same time without losing his place..... WOW!
Glenn Gould having fun. What a great musician.
Such a beautiful, crazy, wonderful, man-child.....
So happy! Gould in his element. With a very cute puppy dog haircut. That look and smile at 3:45.
The sound of genius to the max.
"You wanna hear some?"
Right?? How charming is he?
Very impressive how he manages to do the trills so exactly while speaking!
unfassbar genial- hab ich noch nie gehört vorher
his musicianship is beyond imagination, his technique is unparalleled, Glenn Gould
I wish I could hear the orchestra in his head....
sublime.
An out and out potty genius! I love this video.
To me, Wagner'a music is like the powerhouse of classical music
Imagine Mozart's or Haydn's music like a fluttering butterfly on a warm breeze.....Wagner's music is like a thumping steam engine rolling through a quiet town.
Try Bruckner's Symphonies and Schubert's Symphony "The Great" in C.
@@AvntXardEschubert but no Mahler?
Guys from the bottom of my heart I tell you this:
I have an unbelievable love for Glenn Gould but you guys ...the comments here just make me cry ...fuck everything else...MUSIC IS OUR GREATEST FOREVER LASTING FRIEND !
Now I got five words for this: GLENN GOULD IS THE DUDE!! (And of course Richard Wagner is the MAIN DUDE...!) This is like some alchemistic transformation of heavy bloodred wine into weightless liquid silver - proving that there's so much more to Wagner's unbelievable music than just a load of harmonic and instrumental overkill! Man, I'd love to hear the whole opera in this version (with Glenn Gould singing the vocal lines like "dee-dee-ja-daaa-PA-PA-PA-PAAAAA!!!"... LOL!)
You are quite the wordsmith, i thoroughly enjoyed reading your comment. Much obliged for the giggles! (And yes, you certainly have a point on the counterpoint clarity too!)
3:23 "Bayreuth lives on!" :D - the whole part from 2:50 on is just magnificant and always reminds me of Mahlers fifth Symphony, the finale
i think no conductor or musician succeeded to make Wagner so lightly delightful as Gould in his (unfortunately) few transcriptions.
I love how he can make anything sound like Bach
😂
Wagner’s counterpoint in “Meistersinger” was inspired by Bach.
and he ends with : "ok!" lol Glenn Gould was truly unique.
Fantastic pianist....!!!
OH! Amazing That! I always Dreamed to have concentration like this, he's so genius, so concentrated. very good!!!
Gosh, it's wonderful.
Most people will probably think I'm crazy for saying this but this rendition on piano with Gould playing is more enjoyable than the original for me
Because he is a greater musician than anybody who conducted this music... simple as that :)
@@vladiinsky I agree, most conductors have absolutely no idea what they are doing when it comes to Meistersinger. I do like Celibidache's rendition. Please do check it out.
This is the best thing ever
Thank you for this upload how lovely to see that smile Glenn! I love this man so much the greatest intellectualMind and performer of all time RIP darling man on this 35th anniversary of your passing - The tears fall - thank you for every gorgeous glorious note you left us
Herr Richard Wagner und Der Glenn Gould, das is doch hervorragend! Nec plus ultra. Kiitos, danke cmtmusik
What a sweet heart so sad he shogged off so early.......lovely man and adds genius to genius!
Sheer joy of music! Wonderful!!!
His mumblings in all their glory! Gould was so awesome.
Thanks for reminding me how wonderful Glenn's transcriptions of Wagner are, and how wonderful his playing is!
Amazing, I didn't know he had interest in Wagner... :)
Truly great
Спасибо огромное! С любовью из России!!
Unique Pianist !
Identically remarkably and non-standard played music of Baсh and Wagner, Beethoven and Brahms....
Thank you for video.
I love the moment at 2:33
You know you're cool when you're able to transcribe Wagner in an unliteral an inexact manner ;) My mother doesn't like it, but I think it provides a beautiful and valuable insight to the world of music and what one can do. The technique of transcription is rarely tought, as far as I know, that's why I admire it, especially when the musician is not just copying the scores but puts a lot of own interpretation into it. Glenn Gould once said, the only justification as a musician is to reinvent a piece with your own interpretation, to create something new...
Wow! Mr Gould, the consummate musician.
Awesome. Wagner is the best, it's nice to hear him on the piano.
A genius that we regret and mourn :(
The One, the Only. He's immortal! This September 25th he would have been 84. Happy Birthday dear sweet Glenn!!
More like celebrate and love :)
Just as we revere and appreciate him. There is none other. Praise Gould! Transcendent.
@@sidneysouth9417 , yes! Immortal Beloved. Transcendent. Sublime. Interpretations, energies, abilities, interests -- genius!
@@phoebelinden9602 You're absolutely right! He was a genius & I seriously doubt if anyone will ever be able to achieve such an original & gorgeous "voice" on a piano! I have every CD & DVD he recorded as well as every book written about him.
Excerpt!! Thank you,it's great!!
Tout simplement sublime.
glenn smile ,beautiful.!
@ryofurue You are entirely correct. I've always loved this piece. Thank you for saying that. I've never heard anyone say that before. It's a great example of counterpoint and Gould's ability to expose the melodic lines.I played this piece in an orchestra but, I've never heard the lines so clearly defined.
BRILLIANT!!
I would have loved to have met Glenn. I can listen to his playing all day and can even put up with the singing. He seemed like a really nice guy too if eccentric.
"Meistersinger? - What else!"
I think it's very impressive and very funny. He would have been a good friend.
C'est tout simplement fabuleux. Si nous étions tous comme Glenn GOULD, le monde serait parfait. WAGNER aurait été surpris par cette conception idyllique.
Por Dios santísimo... toda esa música en su mente. Gracias, Señor, gracias por mandarnos, así sea de vez en cuando, estos reflejos de tu Gloria, hecha arte y locura genial.
La musica dei Meistersinger è talmente bella e cantabile che si può gustare anche senza l'orchestra con il pianoforte suonato da un grande artista.
anche di più ....Sono d'accordo con Lei.
3:43-3:45 belong to the most notable seconds of musical history.
I have been searching for them for a year, listened to Gould’s rendition of Bach’s D-moll concerto (1052), stuck and did not listen to anything except for Bach’s 1052 every day (!). This is the power of monsieur Gould. Finally I find this damn video!
Again, 3:43!.. Opera singers will go bankrupt! U jelly mr Pavarotty? MR GOULD, U MAD!
Exellent !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
surprise surprise! :) better than many orchestras.
i like the sound of it.
wanna hear some?
Amazing!
! great stuff
such a weird brilliant wonderful little man
Can you imagine Glen Gould and Jackie Dupree playing together?
Or "Glen" Gould and Anny Mutty!
Or even better: Davey Oistry!
Or the king himself: Jaschy Fetzi!!
yes! He directed these several programs about/with Gould. Gould scripted the entire thing very precisely, including exactly what Bruno said, and when. There are several such filmed "conversations," including about fugues by Bach, and lots more.
Massive! i play clarinet in this piece lol love it!
ha ha, "What else?"
Wagner, motherfuckers.
@ryofurue I was thinking the same thing. Although the colors of the orchestra are a part of what makes this piece great, I love how clear everything is on the piano.
Wow. Wish this was avaliable in score
thanks, I'd never understand it alone! :D
It's especially funny considering Gould presumably scripted that exchange. :D
He always looks like a kid who is too small for the piano. Can't imagine there are many piano teachers out there teaching that seat-height. But, boy, could he play.
Very interesting and amazing and really not that far from the orchestral version.
All in all, Die Meistersinger is Glenn's favourite opera composed by Wagner
Mine too. :)
Nice
you forgot he's also singing the whole time.
Impressive to see a human so totally inhabited by music - transcripting almost live an opera for the piano
Strangely perhaps, Gould's interpretation has a distinct ring of this composition's original authenticity, because Wagner stressed time and again the melodiousness and singability of his music, particularly Meistersinger. The same service was performed by conductors like Furtwaengler, Mengelberg, Golavanov, Stokowski, et al.
If only he would have done a transcription of Mahler's 8th symphony...
He didn't know it, but his landlady could hear him play, through the walls, and often she would stay up and listen to him play all night. I bet she was one of the lucky ones who got to hear his Mahler, Bruckner, Strauss, and other symphonic transcriptions.
I bet Glenn Gould record sales were higher per capita in Westchester County in the year of my birth than in Toronto.
crazy/brilliant !!!!
Grand acteur, contrôlant, cabotin.
I wouldnt have imagined a musical genius actually has an ear that is physically different from a normal one. Look at his right ear. Can't figure out what it is, but it's different. It looks like a plastic movie prop, sticking out like some kind of weird appendage.
annoying interviewer: "Meistersinger?"
GG: "What else?!" (Translation: shut your face and listen!!)
This sounds so great, I'm so amazed at how good he was at shaping everything he played, he is never just doodling around with it.
I wish he hadn't done his sing along with Wagner while performing...but it wouldn't be Glenn without it ;-)
The runs from the 2:05 phrase are the best
Gould!, che uomo!
@petezilla Yea, I also got the same impression xD
Btw, it's not easy to forget that "What else?!". Gould has an amazing personality, anyone would say "yes, it is". Saw this some days ago in the complete interview and I remembered Gould replying "What else?!" while I was walking the street. lol
