how strange to hear a completely deadened small room close-mic'd sound from an orchestra, utterly dry, no ambience or audience. Glenn is the man. I seem to remember a late 1970's movie "The Competition" where Amy Irving smacked up Richard Dreyfus with her Rach 3 or something vs. his Emperor. And in his pretend-Emperor, at those suddenly-slowed chords at the end of the piano's first solo Richard got all actor-y imitating actual piano playing, was hilarious.

That stool, that immediacy with the keyboard, his seeming unease and his complete knowledge of the score seen in his self-conducting ... it is a wonder to watch this Candadian genius of music, Glenn Gould, perform live.

Glenn Gould's performance has such strong characters.

Does somebody noticed? This guy has an alien inside just laughing of master works of music. Of course he was prety talented, but in a certain point of his career he stoped being completly himself. Just see his W.C. sit down style in 1:57, see the tic in his mouth while he´s playing, see the "self conducting" of this kind of "musical arm fo Charles Manson´s Club".

Splendid, all-star performance--but the sound reproduction is ghastly! It sounds like it was recorded in a barrel--Too damned bad.

I've experienced the Toronto Symphony Orchestra a few times. It's world class. --But the TSO PLUS Gould?! That's arguably too much for the intellect to handle...
