Otherwise an eccentric pianist, Gould plays the Italian Concerto exquisitely, straightforward, charming, musical and without the least affectation. Most decidedly the best performance of the first movement that I've ever heard!
It always sounded familiar, like an old friend. Seems that some of the concerto was soundtrack in the Talented Mr Ripley, that's where I first heard it. Marvelous.
Power? Oh please. He is UNremarkable. I know pianists who can play like this and better whose names are completely unknown. Have you listened to the sewage that came out of this man's mouth? Go listen to his interviews with Bruno Monsaignon if you are in the mood to vomit.
The Best Italian Concerto I've ever heard!!!!!
Glenn Gould absolutely rules. He is the number 1 person
The most beautiful rendition of the first movement of Bach's Italian Concerto on the piano that I can possibly imagine!
The Best...humming too

Какая манера игры у него !!!! Величавая основательная , как и сама музыка великого Баха !!!
Nessuno ha mai suonato e nessuno potrà mai suonare Bach come Glenn Gould!
I love this piece.. And I love him!!
I have no idea what the hell is going on in the comments section, but this is a beautiful performance by Gould, as always :)
¡¡¡HERMOSO, MUY HERMOSO!!!
¡¡¡Gracias Bach, gracias Glen Gould!!!
The best Italian Concerto! ...Glenn forever!
Che gioia sublime per le mie orecchie. ^_^ :D
De Glenn Gould es la mejor versión de esta obra, no hay duda.
BRAVO !

Why thank you ! That is very kind of you to say so. I am most grateful.
My God!
Yes!
I couldn´t agree more.
天才！
Well done! :)
I like pi
There probably isn't a single recording of gould where you can't ;)
It's polyphonic baroque music. It's supposed to be that way, motoric and in steady tempo. It's not Chopin.
2019?
If I were truly crazy, would you have compassion for me in my illness?
ZFOMG teh epicness
And if that one person were the COMPOSER HIMSELF, we would have something, wouldn't we?

Will u marry me Glenn Gould?
האיטליאן כונצרטו זו מנגינה ממש יפה מזל שבח כתב אותה ומזל שגלן גולד הגאון הזה יודע לנגן אותה.
+boris meshner: Is this arrogance, or are you devoid of european language skills? (If you quoted from Bibel I apologize).
Arrogance is your presumption that he should write in a "european language" in a global forum that's accessible in most parts of the world
Nice performance, but this piece sounds so much better when played on the harpsichord.
Мало прожил,мало
Not if that one person wer the COMPOSER.
Sublime, but i think that sound much better in a Harpsichord.
Wow, he plays it even better than Schroeder in the MetLife commercial!
*that was a joke!*
What about me as second best? (The best is the enemy of the good!). Joke...
He was gay and if dont remember wrong his partner's name was Johann Sebastian something...back? bucks? oh yes boch
Pretty sure he's dead

Name one and give me his address.
Just awful. He plays like a robot. No offense, robots.
