Gould's first performance to receive widespread attention was his 1955 recording of Bach's Goldberg Variations. His speed, dexterity and tone revolutionized the understanding of this piece and it became inextricably linked with Gould for the remainder of his life. His final recording, in 1981, was also of the Goldberg Variations -- a much more studied and reflective interpretation of the work.
Gould was also known for his uncommon views regarding the value of recorded performances vs. live performances (he stopped performing live in 1964), and regarding some canonical composers (particularly Mozart, whom he referred to as a 'mediocre composer'). Later in his life Gould also became known for his work as a radio documentarian with the Canadian Broadcasting Company (a statue of Gould can be found outside the CBC headquarters in Gould's hometown of Toronto).

Слова на музыку Марчелло:
И цари безмолвствуют, где
Громыхают це`пами тени,
И века смиренны в воде --
У неясных происхождений
Герб немолчный -- света стена
К божеству немыслимой встречи,
Несказанно лепечет волна
У земель незабвений сердечных:
Никого, никогда и нигде
Всё цепляют странные воды,
Всё идет луна по воде,
Говорит, говорит, не уходит...

I am sitting in a train, heading to a conference and hearing this piece of Bach and cannot control my tears… the left hand playing like “time” or “destiny”… something we cannot change. The right hand sings, sometimes joyful, sometimes sad, sometimes free, sometimes like burdened…. It makes me decided to try my whole life only do things which can remain in the time, like this piece.

I remember one day in a music class at university, our class was bored so our teacher sat down at the piano and played this. Everyone got quiet, listened with rapt attention. He had our respect after that.
Jules Clarke
such sorrow and peace

Разве мог предположить Бах, когда создавал это произведение, что через столетия, в 2022 году, кто-то будет, держа смартфон на коленях, слушать его музыку и плакать? Сразу начинаешь задумываешься, а что есть время и пространство, о вечности и о вечной душе. Душа Баха звучит и сейчас и трогает своим звучанием другие души.

Вы очень и очень правы, если учитывая ,что БАХ на всех своих произведениях подписывал ,что посвящается БОГУ, то это музыка не имеет время и пространства ,она весна - как наш небесный ОТЕЦ.
