If you watch these videos in the playlist or with auto play on, the previous video included an introduction where an off-camera cellist began to play, then Glenn gets up and the camera follows him to meet Leonard, upon which time Gould says, "Meet my good friend, Leonard Rose." Then the video ends almost immediately after that and this video begins. Admirable mentioning that though for all those that find this video first. I also noticed that the cellist isn't mentioned in the video's description. Perhaps the owners of this channel @glenngould could add that to the video's description.
@@mcrettable I agree. I first viewed this video when I was a teenager and at the time and at the time I was much more partial to string players and knew little of Glenn Gould. It was the first time I found myself vastly more enthralled with the pianist than the string player, a new experience for me. Not that Leonard Rose isn't brilliant, but Gould is on a different playing field. He was truly a musical genius, not just as a player, but in every way possible. To this day, he is still my favorite musician of all time.
absolutely and Leonard Rose is an icon to all string players. His sound and bow articulation so wonderful. .Glenn Gould such a genius!! I was there in Stratford, Canada. My great father-violinist Oscar Shumsky a God of the string world was director of the festival with Gould and Rose. Such great figures in music! I was just a little boy and history was being made! I realized that even at 7 or 8 years. They were lovely people and they often came to the house for dinner. I was very very lucky. Eric Shumsky
Lovely interpretation by both Gould and Rose! The clarity, warmth, and depth. And the dedication in their body languages too. Surprising this only has around 7000 views as of today.
Johanna C. Tjia Me too! I listen to it a couple of times a month, I think. And I play the piano part of this movement. The other movements are still pending and I haven’t found a qualified cellist yet.
How nice you can play this sonate. I hope you find a qualified cellist very soon. Do you perform in public? I don't play the piano myself, but I listen to great pianoworks every day. Glenn Gould is one of my favourite pianists. No, I guess he is the most favourite, haha
I always assumed Gould only played Bach and Gibbons seriously, playing everything else with grotesquely perverse tempi and dynamics. Had no idea he was a Beethovenian. This is music-making of the very highest order. And I'm sure Mr L V Beethoven loved this sort of music-making - so many of his duo sonatas have such joy - as this one, the Spring sonata for violin and opus 96 for violin, and no doubt others.
Every Utube video I watch that showcases Gould makes me love him more! I don’t care who the secondary star or orchestra is... he just overshadows all. I just love watching his magical hands and emotions. There will never be another....
Mari Christian Gould is the featured soloist as the cello part is an oblige or obbligato as stated by Beethoven himself in the title pages of the six duo sonatas and sets of variations for Pianoforte and violoncello. Same applies to his ten duo sonatas for Pianoforte with violin oblige. The cello parts play highly important roles but it is important to remember Beethoven conceived these compositions as piano first with the cello in a supporting role to the piano. These works are very keyboard driven compositions with the piano carrying the narrative. Modern audiences are further confused by the deliberate attempt to relabel these pieces as being cello sonatas which Beethoven never intended.
@@coralreef909 Hmm. That's interesting. As a cellist myself, I suppose I didn't want the remarkable Leonard Rose to get short shrift. He also taught generations of now famous cellists at the Julliard.
@@scarbyte3790 One should not have to struggle to hear the cello through the piano with any sound system. I listen through my stereo system. When I use headphones, I use uncoloured studio ones. Even on my macbook speakers the piano is too loud. It is just bad sound engineering by a technician who does not understand the music they are recording. When Beethoven wrote this music, the piano was a much less powerful instrument, which is a fact that many people (including some pianists) fail to recognize, and fail to compensate for. The cello does not just make 'bass sounds'. The range extends well into that of the violin. This sound engineer at least did not filter the high end out of the cello tone, as many mistakenly do, in order to make it sound more like a double bass.
@@cello64 Yes I did, you said you listen on "uncolored studio headphones", "macbook speakers", and your "stereo system". Not very specific. For me it sounds perfectly fine. So if your "uncolored studio headphones" aren't doing the trick then try using an EQ or something lol.
As a violinist played a lot of sonatas with piano, I was stunned how Mr. Gould is totally in his world and not engaged with Mr. Rose in this performance. It is almost like a piano sonata with a cello accompaniment. Nevertheless it is beautiful.
The 2 instruments are treated more equally by Beethoven here. The cello is actually often inferior in the opus 5 sonatas and labeled as Sonata for piano and cello insinuating it's secondary position.
Why no mention of the brilliant cellist, Leonard Rose?

yeah strange to leave the guys name out
Gould and Maisky would have made an interesting combination indeed. But I enjoy Leonard Rose's playing immensely.
@@jonathanwyble4227 That's interesting. Perhaps there would have been a clash of egos with Maisky.
I've watched this over 100 times and it is always like the first time! It's the BEST!!!
Gould's hands are a masterpiece of nature.
They are beautiful! And playing so beautifully!
Definitely one of the « definitive » performances of this piece ever captured on film/tape...

How lucky you are! Thank you very much for sharing!
God I love this piece.
breathtaking!
Immediately you know this is fantastic.
Bravo!!!🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
I think every musical performers in the world watch it as a perfect example of the "interplay"
a piece of art

Yes, mister Wadsholt, that astonishes me also. I listen to this sonate quite often. Most people listen to pianists like Lisitsa, I guess.

Well, thank you! No, I do not perform in public. I am merely an enthusiastic amateur. Small private venues could be though :)
Magnificent!
A favorite for sure! My neighbors think so also!
I love the expression on Rose’s face as he watches Glenn play.
wonderful❤
grazie
Prekrasno!
Yes, beautiful indeed.
Sì d'accordo Glenn è perfetto, ma Leonard è celestiale. Cosa volere di più ?

For Piano and violin oblige. Or Beethoven’s original title of the ten sonatas “Sonatas for Pianoforte avec accompaniment of a violin”.
Every Utube video I watch that showcases Gould makes me love him more! I don’t care who the secondary star or orchestra is... he just overshadows all. I just love watching his magical hands and emotions. There will never be another....
In this case, it would be a good idea to pay some attention to the god of American cellists, Leonard Rose!

Спасибо большое! С любовью из России! 💖
As so often happens, the recording engineer over did the piano volume. Otherwise, what a pair of magnificent musicians!
Kinda just depends on your headphones. I have bass heavy headphones so the deep sounds of the cello are pretty loud and clear to me.

so damn good..
This is how Sonatas are meant to be played.
Gould is a master next to the very greats, next to Lhevinne and Hofmann and schnabel
I love you so much. So gateful to the three of you
One could mention the cellist in the video description!
I'm in heaven!!

Well now there are a few. Those folks probably don't like vaccines either.
At 3:26 Beethoven uses the theme from the aria "Es ist vollbracht" from Bach's St. John Passion.
Great!
So wunderschööön g.g.und l. Rose
Keith Hall comment on the playing by Gould and Rose is 100% correct-there is no pair that compairs to them

@@aachoocrony5754All of the Beethoven duo sonatas are for Piano and [other].
Ce n'est cool de ne. Pass écrire le nom de soliste Leonard Rose! Quand même
3:41 Mr Gould decides he no longer wants a neat and tidy hairdo. I was wondering how we went from 2:00 to 5:10
❤️😍😍
3:43 the cello cries!!
A 1961 Beethoven recording putting all modern recordings to shame 😔 smh
0:58 2:18 3:43 5:21
Apparently, Richard Nixon is a really good cellist!
Too bad he gave up that career to become a recording engineer...
@@pauldeck4500 Touché my good man !! Bloody brilliant response.
So who’s the a-hole that’s disliked the video ? SHOW YOURSELF !
Could we ask a moderator to remove them from youtube?
Зачем пианист рожи корчит, не приятно смотреть
почитайте внимательно его биографию, и узнаете
Quando andò a Mosca da sconosciuto in pochi giorni hanno dovuto aggiungere date perché troppa gente (con passaparola) voleva ascoltare quel genio.
