CD Reviews

The most charming unhorthodox performance I've ever heard

Robert Macedo-Alves | Madeira, Portugal | 10/16/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This Schumann quartet recording is the most fascinating little piece I've ever heard. Obviously Glenn Gould and the Julliard String quartet did not get along very well when they recorded the thing - it is clearly perceptible in the recording. But this awesome contrast is completely fascinating. Is my favorite recording of the Schumann quartet. A must buy!"

Gould and the Juilliard produce a one-of-a-kind performance

Santa Fe Listener | Santa Fe, NM USA | 06/18/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Despite reported friction at the 1968 recording session, Gould and the Juilliard Quartet made beautiful music together. Gould was notoriously difficult to collaborate with, and both parties went their separate ways, happy not to meet again. But the ear detects not the slightest disharmony or difference of opinion (pace the two reviewers below who fantasize a strong clash of personalities). Their Schumann Quartet is light and lyrical, with a tender tone from both the strings and piano. The Vivace finale is taken quite fast, and Gould's precise touch makes the counterpoint sound like Bach. Five stars.

The Brahms Piano Quintet comes from a (mono) radio broadcast in 1957. Again there was reported friction, and it does seem that the strings pull one way and Gould another at times. But it doesn't matter. Gould's tempo is weirdly fast in the second movement, his pointed, detache touch is completely foreign to Brahms, and the Montreal Quartet are no great shakes. A reading to delight Gould's fans and their love of his idiosyncracies. Otherwise, a miss.

"

Thank God for the difference

"Wow, this recording sticks out in a wonderful way. I have three other recordings of the Schumann and two of the Bhrahms, but this one is my new favourite. More than a team-play, it sounds like a battle between Gould's way and Julliard's way. Excentricity and genius vs. superb workmanship and bravura.
A must have, but you might want to start with a more accessible interpretation if you aren't a Schumann buff."
