J.S. Bach French Suite No. 2

Sticking with the Baroque theme today. Glenn Gould is generally considered the foremost performer of Bach's keyboard music. His style is highly technical and fast. You can see from the pictures in the video that he was also famous for his crouched (uncomfortable-looking) style. Bach's French Suites were written for the clavichord (the instrument that came between the harpsichord and the piano) but these pieces are generally performed on pianos today.
