Music reviews of Glen Gould, Bach Toccatas vo. 1 - 70th Anniversary Edition
Music Review: Excellent playing
Rating: 5 Stars
In response to the last reviewer's concerns about the piano's sound in this recording, the dry, sharp sound has always been Gould's intention--it's as present in all of his recordings as is his singing. "An x-ray of the music," was how he put it, and in order to achieve that trademark clarity, Gould miced his piano very closely, hence the lack of the usual "resonance and depth" we're used to from many other piano recordings. In my opinion, closely miced Bach is the best way to record it, since a great level of transparency is achieved--ideal for appreciating the music's tonic progressions and letting each note be heard. In many ways Gould was achieving a more harpsichord-like sound (remember the harpsipiano?) with his recording techniques. All in all, this recording, along with Vol. 2, presents Gould in his consistant excellence. Can't tell at all that he didn't care much for the Toccatas!
