Rare and wonderful - Gould with orchestra

If today play young pianists Martin Stadtfeld the harpsichord concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach naturally on the piano, so that's partly due to probably the enfant terrible of classical pianists, the Canadian Glenn Gould. As Gould ever despised competitively element in the music industry, he felt even the competition between soloist and orchestra in concerts as disturbing. His later recordings include solo works as well mainly for piano. All the better, it is because that Gould but recorded the harpsichord concertos by Bach on video, and especially on record.
Controversial, equally doomed as you do not come hailed the Bach interpretations Goulds over yet. The absolute precision and the unique piano technique Goulds, especially the exceptional non-legato touch in the fast movements contrasts with the wonderful lyrical sense of the slow movements. The Columbia Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Leonard Bernstein and Vladimir Goldschmann accompanied Gould with warm and full, or as required exhaust tone.
For me, the Bach recordings Gould are the absolute reference recordings. Who loves Bach and does not insist on the historical performance practice, which is with this wonderful recording definitely correct.
