Free Music Review: ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING!!
Hit: 5 Stars
The apogee of this recording is the toccata in e--the first movement of the e minor Partita, S. 830.
This is one of the first recordings GG made for Columbia--immediately after the Goldberg Variations in 1955, and made the same year.
Bach's "toccatas" contained three to five episodes generally following this formula: i) the toccata, proper; ii) an adagio or arietta section; iii) a fugue.
Bach's toccata in e consists of i) toccata, introduction; ii) fugue/aria; iii) toccata, conclusion.
GG was an odd bird: at heart, an ardent Romanticist; on the surface, a sleek Modernist. He does something remarkable with this piece: he infuses an ardently subjective Romanticism with an hard-edged Modernism, turning this antiquated Baroque piece inside out: he makes the upward rushing thrust of the toccata into a pain-filled cry, and the fugue into a studied glacier. With his uncanny timing, GG stretches the piece out to nearly 10 mins: the ending, when the aria theme returns to conjoin the toccata recapitulation--with Gould's exquisite timing and incredible manual dexterity--is absolutely breathtaking. This is incredible art.
