He brings out a compelling rhythmic elasticity with intense lyricism in the introspective bits with a taut barbarism in the march like sections and builds tension superbly. Ive heard this many times and this for me is right up there with the best. Fair enough if its not for everyone but I love it.

There was another video of Glenn Gould playing the entire Seventh Sonata on a Canadian TV program. His interpretation of the Precipitato there is quite different from the recording he made of it several years later. That performance can be found at kzitem.info/news/bejne/0KOunJ6dcWSTfZg but I can't seem to find the entire TV program. It may have been deleted.

I am no expert but have just listened to the opening of Richter playing this piece and I think it is clearer and lighter, less muddy, and I think it is because he doesn't use the pedal whereas with Gould I find it a little heavy sounding and this may be due to the pedal. On the other hand I think Gould plays the opening sequence with more precision between the two hands.

I understand that Russian politics are mostly violent. I do not understand why, after Scriabin and Danijl Charms, Russian aesthetics are also almost exclusively brutal. Even Germany produced some 'subtle' or understated art in the 20th century...
I try hard with music such as this but I’m an old romantic and find it, along with the twelve tone stuff simply far too jarring to be able to listen long enough to learn about it!

While I love Glen's playing, this is not the best of his style - Prokofiev demands subtle melodic textural interpretation, something I thought Gould would have picked up on...unfortunately his brittle technique does nothing to qualify the nuances of tone that is demanded in Prokofiev's works...sadly, dismissive...and way too much pedal...ouch...however, his percussive playing is by far the best thing in the performance. Long fingers on a low angle...it's great for percussive effect, but doesn't supply the effect of his previous Beethoveian touch.

What, if any resonance of my criticism/post defines me as a "fragile man" ? Exactly what part of your imbecilic comment is supposed to elucidate any intelligent comment, or future discussion on this thread? Obviously the "fragile" one here is the one who denotes anything anti-group-think as some aberrant form of insecurity, albeit translated into a demasculinized stigma. I wonder if I was openly gender nonbinary, what you're approach would have been. My feelings are certainly well intact thank you, perhaps yours have been unfortunately wrinkled; and for that, I do feel sorry for you. :)
