I sent Seymour Bernstein this video and asked if he could write me an email defending his Gould opinions, since many of you wished he'd said more here. Instead he insisted we jump on a Zoom call, giving me the chance to record his instant reactions to a couple Gould recordings as well as have him respond to some of the criticisms you threw his way! Part 1 is here: https://youtu.be/0cB5ewhjf1E And part 2 is coming in a few days. Stay tuned! Meanwhile, thanks for the lively debate.

My Dad is buried in the same cemetery as Gould; about a 10 minute walk from his plot. Every time I pay my Dad a visit I make sure to stop by Glennās place to say hi. My Dad turned me on to Glenn Gould as a child and itās fitting theyād end up as neighbours.
-
My mother took care of Gould in the final days of his life as a bed side nurse. She tells me about how he had such wonderfully soft and smooth hands.
-
Love the mix of interpretations. There is always room for a appreciation and critique. That is the foundation of art.
-
"What about what he did to Mozart?" I can't stop replaying that bit.
-
I love that you included someone who didn't like him! Usually videos are too scared to include opposing opinion, it all has to be hagiography.
-
I am a piano student and this is one of my favorite videos of all time on YT. Sensational interviews intertwined with the footage of Gould. Just amazing
-
My favorite thing is how in all of Gouldāa recordings you can hear his incessant humming but everyone just puts up with because heās such a visionary
-
āNeurotic interpretation of Bachā Bernstein had no chill š
-
Great job with the interviews and putting so much fascinating information together! Thank you.
-
Loved that kicker at the end. What a great video! Please keep them coming
-
THANK YOU! This is a GREAT compilation, I never would have found all these clips on my own. Love it.
-
One of my favourite comments about Gould is that it is often like listening to an X-ray of the music--as though you can see inside the composition to discover its inner workings. But I can certainly understand that this can be a love-it-or-hate-it proposition.
-
Here it is 40 years since Glenn Gould died, and we still listen, watch. Love. Are fascinated. Hear new things in the music. I'm so grateful that after he left the concert stage, he made so many recordings and TV programs--we have much to enjoy, to love, to enjoy.
-
Great video and interviews and insights. The comments of Robert Durso are very important, in terms of the posture and strain and potential damage. How wonderfully revealing that Bernstein says he never heard him play anything that was beautiful. Certainly not in the sense of a Rubinstein. There are times when Gould's playing feels like that of a tactician, but other times he reveals a soul in some difficult unwieldy music. Thankfully there's room for all kinds of genius.
-
I lost it when Seymour asked āWhat about what he did TO Mozart?ā š
-
If tonebase could do a similar video about Horowitz, Iād love it. Great respect for Gould!
-
This video is insanely well done and deserves a lot of recognition!
-
02:30 I don't turn to Gould for beautiful renditions. But I've not once listened to him and thought and felt nothing. Every single time I hear him play something, I'm filled with thoughts and feelings. I don't feel the desire to emulate, but I am most definitely inspired.

Glenn was an OG punk icon, rebelling against the constraints of the accepted norms simply by being true to himself. From the way he sat and played to his humming as well as his love of artists like Schoenberg, his approach was unique in all conceivable ways.
