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.

  • I swear Tovell's mere acknowledgements makes him sound like such a dick.

    Love Gould, he's all, ".....sound like Mendelsohn...even the French..."

  • It's Contrapunctus I from Art of Fugue by Johann Sebastian Bach.

  • Is the snippet he plays at 3:47 a real piece, or did he just improvise it? I have had it in my head for days.
