Our Take

Ah, Glenn Gould, the musical maverick who took Beethoven's 5 Piano Concertos and turned them on their head. This box set is a must-listen for any classical music aficionado, or anyone looking to shake up their Spotify playlist.

Gould's interpretation of these iconic concertos is nothing short of revolutionary. His unique style and flair bring a fresh perspective to these timeless pieces, breathing new life into them with each key press.

The opening track, Concerto No. 1 in C Major, is a rollercoaster of emotions, with Gould's playful piano melodies dancing around the orchestra like a musical whirlwind. It's impossible not to be swept off your feet by the sheer virtuosity on display here.

Moving on to Concerto No. 2 in B-flat Major, Gould's meticulous attention to detail shines through. Each note is carefully crafted and placed with precision, creating a rich tapestry of sound that envelops the listener in a warm embrace.

As we reach Concerto No. 3 in C Minor, Gould's passion and intensity reach new heights. The deep, brooding tones of the piano contrast beautifully with the soaring strings, creating a dark and dramatic atmosphere that is utterly captivating.

By the time we reach Concerto No. 4 in G Major, Gould has firmly established himself as a master of his craft. His delicate touch and exquisite phrasing bring out the subtle nuances in Beethoven's composition, revealing hidden depths and complexities that will leave you in awe.

And finally, Concerto No. 5 in E-flat Major serves as the perfect conclusion to this stunning collection. Gould's masterful technique and emotive playing style make this piece a true standout, leaving you longing for more long after the final notes have faded away.
