I can’t add anything more to the original poster’s video information (my comment in parentheses/italics):

[See CODA below, too]

This clip is absolutely sensational: as education, composition and in performance.

Glenn Gould was 28 years old here.

For the impatient, Gould's performance begins at 5:08, but I strongly encourage you to watch Leonard Bernstein's fascinating introduction.

This film originally aired in 1960 on CBS Television as part of its "Ford Presents" series. The entire film in high quality (of which this clip is a small part) was painstakingly hunted down by YouTuber erp65 and his friends. It can be found here, and I urge you, I really DO urge you, to see it in its entirety:

I have sought erp65's permission to cross-post, as a courtesy, but I have not yet heard back. Meanwhile, my abject enthusiasm got the better of me. This film has to be promulgated [promoted?] far and wide. This was erp65's entire intention here, and we owe him and his friends enormous thanks.

Conductor: Leonard Bernstein
Piano: Glenn Gould

Banging on the keys is not my favorite listening, but then he mellowed out and it was quite nice. I trend towards strings and horns myself when I'm in the mood, which is normally long winter nights.

Hard to believe we went from this to today's pabulum.
