I'm use to hearing this at a much faster pace with more bounce and drive.

Ah, yes, I now see why they are called the Brandenberg Concertos, instead of the brandenberg concerto grossos, which sounds rather odd. I also just realized that most composers dont even put concerto grosso in the title, even if it is one.Also, I agree with you that they are a little bit of heaven on youtube, but my favorite B. concerto is not to be found here. =(

yes it is a concerto grosso..but Bach wrote these for the Duke( or something like a royal title) of Brandeburg,hence the name Brandenburg Concerto..I hope that's what you want to know ! But anyway I love Bach, Gould ( most of the time) and enjoy these little bit of heaven on youtube..agree?...

This music is brilliant, there is little doubt of that. Glenn Gould always plays Bach to its finest.But technically speaking, wouldn't this be a concerto grosso?

interpretazione molto d'altri tempi,ma è interessante

BTW, I've never read a review of Gould's Beethoven sonatas, and I can't for the life of me imagine why. I have an LP of Gould performing Beethoven sonatas, including a monumental interpretation of the Tempest. I find that while Gould plays at a higher tempo than most pianists, if you sync your mind to his tempo, you'll find that within that tempo Gould delivers an astonishing performance with all the subtly and style that one listens for in pianists that play at considerably slower tempi.
