5.0 out of 5 stars The best playing the best, December 1, 2007
This review is from: Partitas 1 2 & 3 - Anniversary Edition (Audio CD)
What more can one say when Glenn Gould plays J. S. Bach? Two masters bringing out each other's finest: Bach is the song and Gould the instrument that vibrates through our souls with messages from the divine. I tell my kids that one of the best ways to get their mental/psychic world in order is to listen to Bach, especially when performed by the Canadian master Gould. (And they're into it.)

These are non-religious, non-verbal sermons on the order of the universe. This is the pinnacle of pure communication that has more to say than all the news media and most of the books written. Okay, maybe that's going a bit over the top . . . but not by much.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gould on Bach, October 10, 2007
By 
Howard Chang (Fredericksburg, VA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Partitas 1 2 & 3 - Anniversary Edition (Audio CD)
I also have other fine pianists' rendItions of the same Bach, Gould's is still unsurpassed. Gould's the one and only approach to Bach, or the other way around, Bach's approach to the mind of Gould is so unique, everything is just fitting the right spot. For the listener, you get the sense, the feeling and the perception of PERFECTION. And that is BACH.

4.0 out of 5 stars bach Partitas 1,2 & 3 by Glenn Gould, December 4, 2009
This review is from: Partitas 1 2 & 3 - Anniversary Edition (Audio CD)
Over the years, I've heard several different pianists perform
the Bach Partitas after first hearing, and falling in love
with, the Bach Partitas performed by Glenn Gould on LPs.

Since then I had read and heard that Gould was an eccentric
or worse, however famous his recordings of J.S. Bach were.
Indeed, reading Amazon customer reviews of Glenn Gould's
Bach CDs seems to suggest an almost hero worship of Gould
to the exclusion of other pianists who have recorded Bach.

While I still think that Rosalyn Tureck's CD on the VAI
label of the Bach Partitas nos. 1,2,and 6 is superb (see
my review of this CD on Amazon.com), I have gained a lot
of respect recently for Glenn Gould's Bach in general.
He, more than any pianist I've heard, is able to bring out the
inner voices in Bach's counterpoint with the utmost
clarity.

Listen, for example, to his articulation of the Bach Partita
no.2. The way Gould brings out the counterpoint is quite
different from, say, pianists Martha Argerich and Rosalyn
Tureck (on DGG and VAI repsectively), yet he seems to
bring out lines and textures they don't. It is like hearing
Bach anew.

To appreciate fully not only the Bach Partitas themselves,
but also ways this music can be approached, it is essential
to hear various artists.

Other pianists worth hearing in the Bach Partitas are
Angela Hewitt, Richard Goode, Andras Schiff and Piotr
Anderszewski, as well as harpsichordists Trevor Pinnock,
Robert Woolley and Wanda Landowska.

Recommended.
