Extractions: GLENN GOULD From the late 1950's until his death in 1982, Glenn Gould was the most famous Canadian "classical" musician in Canada. Born in Toronto, Canada, on September 25th, 1932, Glenn Herbert Gould was first taught to play the piano by his mother. He developed great talents as a pianist and became a Canadian celebrity before he was 20, and an internationally famous concert pianist before he was 30. Even though he was a great success, he wanted to be more than just a pianist. He wanted to be a conductor, a commentator, and a composer. He once referred to himself as a composer who plays the piano. While Gould was familiar with a great variety of music, piano music in particular, he concentrated on a limited number of composers. He recorded music by many different composers, but he focused mainly on Bach, Beethoven, and Schoenberg. In 1964 he gave up giving public performances to concentrate on making recordings. His friends thought he would no longer be famous. However, as well as making recordings, he wrote many essays and produced radio and television programs. He also composed music for three films. Through these different media he helped other people experience music in a new light. Veronica Xavier, an artist who painted several pictures of Glenn Gould, said, "I'll never forget the first time I heard Glenn Gould play. It was as though someone had pulled a heavy curtain away, and suddenly I could see the radiance of what was on the outside."

Where do you see yourself as fitting in? DT: Well, I'd rather begin with what Gould had to say. Maybe as we explore his ideas, I'll pop in every now and then with my own editorial comments. dt: Fair enough. Well, to begin, tell me why you think someone like Gould, a pianist and composer whose work seems to fall pretty far from the subject we're discussing, could have anything to say about interviewing. DT: There was a lot more to Gould than just his musical recordings. The fact that he was quite a prolific writer of essays and stories, and the fact that many of them stretched thematically beyond classical music, shows, I think, that he was as great a writer as he was a pianist.

Glenn Gould (Conductor, Piano, Organ) - Short Biography The remarkable Canadian pianist (also organist, conductor, and composer) glenn (Herbert)gould was born into a musical family Edvard Grieg was a first cousin http://www.bach-cantatas.com/Bio/Gould-Glenn.htm
Extractions: Died October 4, 1982 Toronto, Canada The remarkable Canadian pianist (also organist, conductor, and composer) Glenn (Herbert) Gould was born into a musical family: Edvard Grieg was a first cousin of his mother's grandfather, his father was an amateur violinist, and his mother played piano and organ. Gould's mother was his only teacher until he was ten. When he was three years old, it became evident that he possessed exceptional musical aptitude, including absolute pitch and even the ability to read staff notation. At five, he began to compose, and played his own little compositions for family and friends. At the age of six Gould was taken to his first live musical performance which was Josef Hofmann's last appearance in Toronto. It created a lasting and important impression upon the boy. Robert Fulford, a distinguished Canadian author, met Gould when they were both nine and the two families were next-door neighbours. He wrote: "Even as a child Glenn was isolated because he was working like hell to be a great man. He had a tremendous feeling and loving affection for music. . . It was an utter, complete feeling. He knew who he was and where he was going." At the age of ten, Gould began lessons at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto. Alberto Guerrero was his piano teacher; he studied organ with Frederick C. Silvester and theory with Leo Smith. Gould competed in 1944, at the age of 12, in the annual Kiwanis Music Festival and won the piano trophy. It was to be the only competition Gould would enter, for he later came to be strongly opposed to the idea of young musicians competing with each other and indeed to competition of any sort. In 1945 he passed the associateship examination as a solo performer at the Royal Conservatory, signifying a professional level of attainment. In 1946, at the age of 14, he passed the music theory examinations and was awarded a diploma with highest honors. Gould continued piano lessons with Alberto Guerrero until 1952.

Extractions: From Some Portraits of the Artist as a Young Man , by Jock Caroll. The Ecstasy of Glenn Gould by Denis Dutton Now, as fate would have it, it falls to us to be nostalgic about the artistry of Glenn Gould, a phenomenon so compelling, so unlike anything else in music in our time, that it is impossible to imagine that he will be forgotten. In fact, I would hazard that if there is any twentieth-century performing musician who is still listened to five hundred years from now, it will be Glenn Gould. His recorded legacy is as close as I can conceive to being a permanent contribution to the history of musical art as any body of performance produced since the invention of the phonograph. inimitable and significantly unique Goldberg Variations Rhapsodies , Opus 79, are a case in point: those astonishing performances are unmistakably and indelibly the work of Glenn Gould, but never could I have guessed how he would interpret these pieces. Gould is in this respect so very unlike any of a dozen fine and famous virtuosos I could name. With the others I am certain I could, with fair probability, predict how their recordings of the Opus 79 Rhapsodies would sound.

Extractions: Thirty-Two Short Films About Glenn Gould is just that, views of the Canadian pianist. He was one of music's few complete originals, a keyboard player of unquestionable genius and profoundly sensitive and insightful as a musician and creative thinker. He was also beyond any doubt an insecure, obsessive-compulsive neurotic of the first water. But this last was merely a fact of nature, rather than some defect, for the only person who could be said to have been injured by his manias was the man himself, and for all we know his death from a stroke at age 50 was simply his personal hourglass running out. Gould was (and is) certainly far better known from his many recordings than from memories of live concerts. (He played here in 1959, a recital I attended and was impressed by in both positive and negative ways). In 1964 he gave up public performance forever, devoting the remainder of his days to recording sessions, regular radio and rare television broadcasts, living a reclusive life in northern Ontario, chattering away endlessly on the phone at all hours, and from any ordinary point of view being quite eccentric. The film runs an hour and a half, but as I was unable to read the credits at the end, I can't tell you who had a hand in it, other than recognizing such famous musicians as Yehudi Menuhin. A first-rate actor played Gould and spoke lines from Gould's many writings. Visually, the film is fairly painful to watch (I saw a bad video dubbing), though there are some wonderfully touching and lyrical moments, above all in scenes showing Gould listening to music and conducting in gestures the Gould-actor conveyed with extraordinary grace and fluidity. This looked quite like Gould himself, who always directed with whichever hand was free when he played. The film is nevertheless beautiful and delicate, and well worth seeing. As you might expect, the musical soundtrack is with one exception (Wagner's

Extractions: Credit: Photo: Christine Butler The supremely gifted and wildly eccentric pianist Glenn Gould died 20 years ago this October 4. To mark the occasion, this special edition of the Fishko Files, "20 years After Glenn Gould," examines Bach as it is played on the modern piano, especially as it has or has not been influenced by Gould's style. Distinguished pianists Murray Perahia, Vladimir Feltsman, Angela Hewitt, Edward Aldwell, Maria Tipo and Sergei Schepkin are among the participants. The program traces the rise and fall and rise of Bach on the piano, from the years of Wanda Landowska and Rosalyn Tureck, through the Gould years to the present. Ample excerpts of performances by the pianists, as well as by Gould himself, will illustrate the commentary. Glenn Gould's arresting version of the Bach Goldberg Variations, first released in the mid-1950's, brought worldwide attention to both the pianist and the composition. More recordings and performances of Bach followed, in a style so distinctive as to have all but eclipsed other Bach players of his generation. Gould famously chose the recording studio over the concert stage early in his career, declaring, "the concert is dead." Known for his peculiar work habits (most notably his obsession with temperature in the studios) and a contrarian's approach to music in general (he dismissed many of Beethoven's greatest works while becoming fascinated by Petula Clark) Gould was one of the rare classical musicians to cross over into popular consciousness. But before the world knew about the oddities of his behavior, they knew about his Bach playing. It is his performance of the music of Bach and its effect that will be examined in 20 Years after Glenn Gould.

The release marks the first time the two recordings will be available as one set Gould's 1955 recording of Bach's acclaimed composition has been brilliantly remastered, and the 1981 performance has been painstakingly reconstructed for its first analog release (a quantum improvement on the primitive digital technology of the time). Also included will be studio outtakes and a rare Tim Page interview with Gould, never before available. Glenn Gould was a musical visionary who fired the public’s imagination with his idiosyncratic piano playing. His unconventional interpretation of Bach was initially misunderstood by the classical music world, but ultimately embraced and praised as revolutionary. Gould was also a pioneer in the way he used the recording studio. An early champion of multi-track recording, he was criticized for not playing his music "live;"soon, of course, Gould’s methods became industry standard. Glenn Gould was also a larger-than life figure, with eccentric personal habits and a powerful, self-deprecating sense of humor. In short, Glenn Gould is the stuff of legends.

Extractions: Globe and Mail , March 11, 1998) The great hall of the Moscow Conservatory was only half filled on May 7, 1957, the first night of Glenn Gould's first European tour. At the age of 24 Gould was already well launched in North America, having played with the New York Philharmonic under Leonard Bernstein and recorded Bach's Goldberg Variations. But in Russia he was largely unknownuntil the May 7 concert changed everything. News of his talent flashed around Moscow, and tickets for his remaining concerts sold out the next day. He "became famous literally overnight," according to Sofia Moshevich, a pianist who grew up in the Soviet Union and now lives in Toronto. She discusses Gould's Russian trip, a great event in Canadian cultural history, in an article for GlennGould , the twice-yearly magazine of the Gould Foundation (P.O. Box 190, 260 Adelaide Street East, Toronto M5A 1N1). An engaging combination of scholarship and nostalgia, GlennGould resurrects obscure Gould interviews and reviews, covers new Gould books, announces events like the international Gould conference in Toronto in September, 1999, and charts the progress of his reputation around the world. The issue containing the Russian piece also has a fascinating article about Gould's status in Japan, written by Junichi Miyazama, the writer and critic who regularly translates Gould material into Japanese.

The film-these films, rather-are expertly made, there's no doubt about it. The filmmakers insist that you know how very ingenious they are. They begin with the familiar vision of a long black figure amid white tundra. The figure moves, and very quickly you understand that it's a person, and that it's coming toward you. I felt as though I'd seen this exact same thing more than once before. The tundra represents isolation, and it represents Canada. Glenn Gould appears, alone. That's film number one of 32.

Extractions: Occasionally in life you get to stumble across something both novel and of great personal significance. So, not just the opening of another fad restaurant or the latest games craze then, but an event that transports you beyond once confining boundaries. Thirty Two Short Films About Glenn Gould , a stunningly successful illumination of one complex pianist, is just such an enlightenment. Though nominally biographic, in practice the film steers well clear of dusty reminiscence and faded film clips; instead director François Girard harmonises what might have been a cacophony of reflections on Gould's life. In this way Girard evokes rather than explains. Now, as you might expect, Gould's playing forms the film's core, a hub around which all understanding necessarily revolves. After all without this, the name Gould would have no public meaning. Thankfully the pieces chosen by Girard are uplifting, emotionally intense and destined to make you yearn for the real thing. Gould's interpretation, as no doubt scores have already noted, is warm and supple, technically remarkable yet never alienating; one could absorb this talent forever, never weary or bored. Clearly Girard made the correct (if inevitable) decision when he elected to use only original Gould pieces. And yet, the film is only tangentially about Gould's music and so it never grows to become the dominant theme; there are other paths by which a fan can approach this maestro!

Freud himself stated that psychoanalysis must needs lay down its arms before the riddle of the creative genius then proceeded to explicate Leonardo's unconscious motivation via a single dream and a few scraps of biography, with debatable results. Thereafter, many far less adroit analytic critics would inanely invoke potty problems or Oedipal angst to account for subtle art, neglecting the creator's constitutional make-up, the impact of cultural and historical influences, specific considerations of craft or medium. Francois Girard's absorbing 32 Short Films About Glenn Gould displays a humility Gide would surely have admired in its approach to the mysterious wholeness of the creative process. The director, Canadian like his subject, consistently abjures convenient psychologising as well as the relentless linearity of the typical "Great Man" film. A child prodigy, Gould had been concertizing successfully in Canada since his early 'teens when he achieved instant international acclaim through an astonishing l955 recording of J.S. Bach's 32 Aria mit Virschienene Variationen (The Goldberg Variations). Taking the latter as his formal cue, Girard has created as many "variations" around the holograph of Gould's enigmatic character; exemplary, if sometimes fictive fragments which summon up events from the pianist's career and extra-musical life; actual or acted testimony by Gould, relatives, colleagues, friends, and passing acquaintances; reconstructions of futile attempts by adoring or impertinent journalists to crack his facade; cartoons (a stunning translation of a Bach fugue by the master Canadian animator Norman McLaren); even x-rays (vide infra).

Extractions: Sorry, your browser doesn't support Java. What is the nature of genius? Where does it come from? And what can we learn from this phenomenon? These are some of the questions, which are raised by the film 32 SHORT FILMS ABOUT GLENN GOULD , the legendary Canadian pianist (1932-1982). In an interesting and original way this film pays tribute to the genius of Glenn Gould. As a rule, the "title" of genius is rarely bestowed upon a performer. It is usually reserved for the composers - the general feeling being that, after all, a performer only interprets what the composer has already written down. This is a fair distinction, except for those few occasions when a performer happens to stand on the same level with the composers, whose music he is interpreting. Glenn Gould was such a performer, and this fact was acknowledged early on in his career. After his first public recital, which included works of Scarlatti, Beethoven, Chopin and Liszt, a reviewer wrote of Gould: "genius as profound as their own was at the keyboard". It is interesting to note that in today's world, in an atmosphere distinctly marked by skepticism and even disdain for all the high human concepts and ideals, the word "genius", for some mysterious reason, still elicits in the hearts of most people an attitude of reverence. Even those human beings, who use the Creator's Name daily in countless thoughtless exclamations, halt in quiet respect before the name "genius". In striking contrast to all other words, this word is used sparingly and its usage is carefully guarded and controlled by the user. (The day is no longer far off, when human beings will
