Music reviews of ...And Serenity

Music Review: An Artistic Revelation
Rating: 5 Stars

I did NOT buy this for the Goldberg Variations but for the overall mood of the CD and how it showcased the quentessential Gould. If you can't abide the admittedly strange eccentricies, phrasing and inner voices of the pianist then by all means - don't buy the album. But for those who want an individualistic but sincere interpretation of seductive music for the pianoforte, this is a winner.

To all who saw The 32 Variations of Glenn Gould, I was reminded of the scene in the hotel room when he plays the recording for the awed cleaning lady and fades into a world of his own as he slowly became the music. One this for sure - in an age in which it is nearly impossible to differentiate one "great" pianist by another, Gould is an exception. In fact, I find the signature playing of the old artists - Bolet, Richter, Horowitz, Rubinstein - preferable to the ultra-technical but totally interchangeable artists of today.

There is no "best" of the CD - all are miniature portraits as unique as their interpreter. I loved the Brahms despite the slight hum or maybe because of it. Do I think Scriabin would have played the Deux Morceaux like this? No, but I think he would have appreciated Gould's interpretation and that is the whole point. If the pianist has a valid artistic reason for his view of a piece, we may or may not agree with its presentation but we cannot argue with its sincerity.
