Description for The Glenn Gould Reader
Paperback. Gould's writing on music was often as provocative as his performances as a brilliant pianist. This selection of essays includes pieces on major composers which challenge virtually every tenet of accepted taste and opinion. Other subjects include concert-giving, recording, and Barbra Streisand. Num Pages: 496 pages, mus.exs. BIC Classification: AV; DNF. Category: (G) General (US: Trade); (P) Professional & Scholarly. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 30. Weight in Grams: 820.
When Glenn Gould died in 1982 at the age of fifty, he left behind an astonishing legacy: in twenty-six years he had proved himself to be not only an extraordinary pianist but a brilliant critic. His writing - which appeared primarily in music journals and on record sleeves - was often as provocative as his performances: demanding, compelling, occasionally infuriating, but always the product of a singular artistic vision. This is a wide-ranging selection from Gould's criticism.
