Re: GG: Gould's francophonie...

[h m <tohele@HOTMAIL.COM>]

Canada wasn't officially bilingual until the Trudeau era ... many
years after Gould left school. I also think (correct me if I'm wrong)
that during his life he had fewer fans in Quebec than elsewhere
in Canada. That's changed now of course, and French CBC has
presented many radio programs about him, including interviews
with people who knew him well.

Incidentally, I think the older Gould wouldn't have left Toronto
at all for SARS - just hunkered down at home with his scores and
some good books.

Best,

Hele Montagna
