Glenn Gould

Here's a Google video of legendary pianist Glenn Gould playing first two traditional pieces, and then three modernist 1930s pieces by the composers of the Second Viennese school (Schoenberg, Webern, Berg).

Gould was known as a passionate interpreter of Bach, but he also occasionally composed abstract atonal pieces himself in the style of the Viennese composers.



the pieces are:

- Lords of Salisbury Pavan by Orlando Gibbons
- Galliard No.6 by William Byrd
- Suite, Op.25, Intermezzo by Arnold Schoenberg
- Variations, Op.27 by Anton Webern
- Sonata, Op.1 by Alban Berg

And here's a video of Gould and Yehudi Menuhin playing the uncompromising bleak piece "Fantasie opus 47".
