At Home with Glenn Gould (1959) 6/9

A stunningly intimate conversation between a world-weary Glenn Gould and the CBC's Vincent Tovell, conducted on 4 December 1959, two years after Gould's triumphant tour of the Soviet Union, five years prior to his final concert.

Who do we have to thank for this treasure? A native Torontonian, fellow Gouldian YouTuber who answered my call for the full version of Glenn Gould's Toronto and who threw this interview in as a bonus! We are forever in his debt.

[vinciano]

@klapsikopatiko Lolol, really?

[klapsikopatiko]

@vinciano no problem! it is said that to get a good feeling of the minuet you have to dance to it being drunk.

[vinciano]

@klapsikopatiko Thanks, bro. I start to know that piece in these days

[klapsikopatiko]
