How I met Glenn Gould
In a way, through music, film, and radio broadcasts, I have met Glenn. However, those people who’ve met Glenn personally while he was alive have another aspect of Glenn that I haven’t had the privilege to experience.
Glenn Herbert Gould (September 25, 1932–October 4, 1982) was a celebrated Canadian pianist, noted especially for his recordings of Johann Sebastian Bach. He gave up live performances in 1964, dedicating himself to the recording studio for the rest of his career.
