Free Music Review: Techniq is not enough
Hit: 3 Stars
Undoubtly Glenn Gould (1932-1982,Canada) was one of the very interesting and important pianists of the 20'th century and also a Bach specialist. His 1955 and 1981 Goldberg Variations recordings are a legend and still a reference. I also like his The Art of Fugue recording(not complete;each selected part was played by both piano and organ). Today, Gould's interpretations is very controversial but sometimes his harpsichord-style-playing gives us delightful moments: Superb techniq, transparent reading, rythmic approaching.
I'm disappointed with his French suites. Ofcourse this is a classic Gould-sound, Gould-approaching; there is no problem. On the other hand, Bach was one of the greatest spiritualist composers and his music also wants deep spiritual understanding. For this reason, Gould's French Suites are very dry, fast, and lost. For Gould lovers.
I prefer and recommend: Sviatoslav RICHTER(piano,Nos.2&4,incomplete,live, digital,on Stradivarius label; or on Decca,Nos.2,4&6,also digital) and Gustav LEONHARDT(harpsichord, studio,stereo-1970's,complete on 1 CD,on Sony). Both are great.
