When I was little, I came across Bach's Art of Fugue. My God - how boring, I thought! All these terribly SLOW movements in a row... Now, imagine how MIND BLOWING it was for me when I first heard Glenn Gould's Moscow recital. I'd never heard such exciting fugues in my life! THEN, I discovered that even Schoenberg makes sense in his hands! Then the Goldbergs!! GENIUS!

I love this - a perfect companion, Glenn and his music - the most lovely lonely esoteric feelings he expressed with such depth and conviction.

Thank you!
This one I got, but it's wonderful for those who don't!
Wow, you actually had the joy to listen to this live, over the radio?
GREAT !! THANK YOU !!

Fabulous program. He really didn't like preludes!

Glenn Gould is not as good a singer as he is a pianist.
I can't agree with you)) I really enjoy his singing. So, now I know, for whom he played in gas-mask.. 😂
Thank you!
