Glenn Gould and Leonard Bernstein: Bach’s Keyboard Concerto No. 1 in D minor (BWV 1052)

This clip is absolutely sensational: as education, composition and in performance. Glenn Gould was 28 years old here. For the impatient, Gould’s performance begins at 5:08, but I strongly encourage you to watch Leonard Bernstein’s fascinating introduction. This film originally aired in 1960 on CBS Television as part of its “Ford Presents” series. What did you think?
