At Home with Glenn Gould (1959) 2/9

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.

no applause? if someone plays a piece and exposes himself to the somewhat "dangerous" and stressfull situation of the concerthall, for sure he shall be rewarded!

@lorenzarthur91 - I guess you & Glenn Gould have a difference of opinion.

Applause is verboten!

I love Gould's language and his eloquence in speaking almost as much as I love his piano playing. I don't know why that is. I just find him incredibly interesting to listen to.

@erp65

No doubt. That's awesome.

Interesting how he said Bock, not BaH.
