Glenn Gould Plays Bach on His U.S. TV Debut … After Leonard Bernstein Explains What Makes His Playing So Great (1960)

Why, 35 years after his death, do so many music lovers still respect Glenn Gould above all other pianists? One might assume that, since he played the work of such well-known composers as Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn, and Brahms, he would have acceptable substitutes among the most highly skilled pianists of each successive generation. But none have ever taken Gould’s place, and quite possibly none ever will. His distinctiveness owes both to sheer aptitude, and to something else besides: Leonard Bernstein attempts an explanation of that something in the clip above, from the CBS Ford Presents broadcast of January 31, 1960… openculture.com

„Der Untergeher“ – Markus Boysen liest aus dem Roman von Thomas Bernhard

„Auch Glenn Gould, unser Freund und der wichtigste Klaviervirtuose des Jahrhunderts, ist nur 51 geworden, dachte ich beim Eintreten in das Gasthaus. Nur hat der sich nicht wie Wertheimer umgebracht, sondern ist, wie gesagt wird, eines natürlichen Todes gestorben. Viereinhalb Monate New York, und immer wieder die Goldberg-Variationen und die Kunst der Fuge, viereinhalb Monate Klavierexerzizien, wie Glenn Gould immer wieder nur in Deutsch gesagt hat, dachte ich. Vor genau 28 Jahren hatten wir in Leopoldskron gewohnt und bei Horowitz studiert und, was Wertheimer und mich betrifft, nicht aber Glenn Gould naturgemäß, während eines völlig verregneten Sommers von Horowitz mehr gelernt als die acht Jahre Mozarteum und Wiener Akademie vorher. Horowitz hat alle unsere Professoren null und nichtig gemacht. Aber diese fürchterlichen Lehrer waren notwendig gewesen, um Horowitz zu begreifen.“ – http://agoradio.de/-sendungen/2015-9/2015-09-10.html
