Glenn Gould: More Than Just a Pianist 🎹
Glenn Gould, born in Toronto, was a Canadian pianist, writer, composer, and broadcaster! 🇨🇦 Renowned for his interpretations of Bach, Gould challenged conventional performance practices. Did you know he stopped giving public concerts at age 31 to focus on recording? A true original! #GlennGould #CanadianMusic #Bach
Speaking of Canada, the Minneapolis Public Library has put many of its vinyl recordings of Glenn Gould on display.
Say what you will about the relative audio quality of online, CD, and LP, the album art was great.
"A record is a concert without halls and a museum whose curator is the owner."
—Glenn Gould 1932-1982
