GG: From the Bach list



This posting in the Bach list might be of interest to Goulders:

>>fugue?  This is a piece that my parents had an old 78 of, and which I love
>>dearly but haven't heard in many years.

 > My favorite recording of the BWV 911,  the Cm toccata is by Glenn Gould.
>After hearing this track I usually have to go to the piano and try it again
>because he plays it so" purely" it gives the impression that any player can
>atleast get through it.  But about 25 measures into the fugue,  where there
>is too much "music" for my playing to elucidate, I go back to the recording
>and content myself with his grasp of the subtleties.  He elicits and draws
>out more long lines from the fugue than I can find, at first, in reading
<the score!

>You also get his rollicking performance of the Gmaj and Gm
>and the great F#m toccata which alone is worth the price of the set.

>Toccatas & Inventions  Bach, J S   (Sony #M2K42269  Compilation 1987)
