Gould/Rose/Beethoven

Glenn Gould and Leonard Rose are performing the 3rd movement (Adagio cantabile — Allegro vivace) of Ludwig van Beethoven's Violoncello Sonata No. 3 in A major, Op. 69. A black and white video, but the sound is pure Gould/Rose. It is amazing that after all the years since this was recorded the spirit of these two incredible musicians is still so vital.



A note about the Mutter in the clip below: I had the opportunity to hear her in an all Brahms recital at the NAC about ten years ago, and it was easily one of the most moving evening of my life. Her ability to turn a phrase into something incomprehensibly beautiful is second to none.
