Free Music Notes for Strauss: Piano Sonata in B / 5 Piano Pieces

Free Music Review: Goulds' last recorded statement sounds like his first.
Hit: 5 Stars

I know it is a cliche to state the obvious: this is infact Gould's very last recording... but, what a final recording indeed! There is something about it - a mysticism I've always felt, as if Gould knows it is going to be his last. He plays completely differently here than on the last Goldberg recording. On that, he sounds as though he is making a deliberate statement - an intentional modification to his former recording of the Goldberg Variations. On this recording of Strauss' op. 5, it reminds me of the organic youthfullness of Goulds' first Goldberg recording, made some 30 years before. And, he is playing a very youthful, sort of innocent Sonata which Strauss wrote at age 16. Strange, how the music sounds as full circle as it reads on paper. The finality of this recording is stunning, a bit of a wonder, it is not Gould in a state of deep meditative introspection, rather, he is just playing. He sounds at peace with himself.
