Glenn Gould plays Die Meistersinger (excerpt)

Prelude from 1st act of Die Meistersinger. Composed by Richard Wagner. Piano transcription by Glenn Gould Recorded in January 1974 Now with Closed Captions! Note: If you want to translate the captions for your local language using the automatic translation, please select “English: Without German Accent“ at the “Translate from“ field. Why? Because Glenn Gould speaks with German accent on this video, and change some words. For example: instead of “them“, he speaks “zem“. If you chose the caption track “English: Original“ to translate, the automatic translator will get confused and probably many errors will appear.
