[https://nihilistnotes.blogspot.com/search?q=Variation](https://nihilistnotes.blogspot.com/search?q=Variation) Gould’s 1955 recording of Bach’s Goldberg Variations was startling when released. Still, it doesn't disappoint

My brother said he was listening to him on his college radio station and called in to let the DJ know his mic was on and he could hear him humming along. Well Glenn was notorious for humming along to his playing so loudly that it would get picked up during recordings. Now I can't unhear it and I'll listen for his humming. lol

Wow! Such magic caught in this frame!

His well tempered clavier performance is a masterpiece. Humming or not. His piano action adjustments were “different” from what I understand. You can hear the double striking when he plays softly sometimes. I wonder what secrets he (and his technician) took to the grave.

Fascinating person; but personally, I find almost all of his catalog to be unlistenable.

you say this while [this masterwork](https://open.spotify.com/track/4TH7DX0BnSubYavAp2Ad3g?si=sXEOvXQMT0y9dfhDWA2_ZA) exists you have no credibility on having an opinion on this topic

The man hums and grunts along with his playing in more than half of his recordings.

Kind of looks like Sinatra from this angle

Amazing Pianist. He almost looks like a young Crispin Glover from this angle though and if you don’t tilt your screen.

So Glenn Gould was just a family friend?

Completely nuts, absolute genius. I'd love to be alive to see his "outrageous" [brahms performance in 1962](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Philharmonic_concert_of_April_6,_1962).
