@HandlelessUser Well, Neil Young and Leonard Cohen are also pretty high in my book. However, Gould should definitely be on the shortlist, too.

Great!!!
-
@HandlelessUser I agree but don't forget Oscar Peterson!
-
Just you can not compare simpler popular forms of limited musical entertainment with a very developed and elaborate one.

According to CBC's ordered list of greatest Canadian's:
13 - Stopin Tom Connors
14- Neil Young
18- Shania Twain
27 -Celine Dion
33- Gordon Lightfoot
40 - Avril Lavigne
46 - Leonard Cohen
55 - Glenn Gould
The average Canadian is completely unaware that one of the greatest musicians of all time is from their home country. If there was a list of greatest Germans would Ramstein come before Beethoven and Bach? No way.

Life did not give him enough time for that... although he said he didn't like French music, save for Bizet!
GG has a talent to bring out the rythm of dance whether in Bach's variations - of which many were inspired by folk dances - or here, while at the same time retaining the pieces's subltety. His renditions litterally swing. Here it is even more extraordinary since the transcription of an orchestral piece complex both on the musical and emotional levels.
GG for ever!

Why did he never recorded Gaspard de la Nuit or Miroirs or Sonatine or Tombeau de Couperin? Why?

Amazing

Amazing is really the only word that comes to mind. Simply amazing.
