Today we celebrate Bach's birthday! Bach's work is deeply emotional and goes straight to the heart, and it is always a pleasure to perform his pieces. Here I am performing Goldberg Variations, BWV 988: Aria, which is one of Bach's most creative and multidimensional works!
Over 15 years after retiring from the concert stage, legendary pianist Glenn Gould, long known as a Bach expert, returned to the formidable Goldberg Variations. Bruno Monsaingeon's documentary captured precious footage of Gould's final recording of the Goldbergs, a work with which Gould may be more associated than any other pianist of the twentieth century.

I’ve been listening to Martha play this Toccata for over 30 years, and I’ve never heard it played better. Simply amazing. 👏👏👏

A wonderful demonstration of the use of rubato and dynamics in playing Chopin (notorious for minimal performance details)
This is just one reason why I love Ashkenazy!
Another: he was chief conductor of my local orchestra, and I got to hear him conduct inc Sibelius — Joy!
