GG: 2 portraits
What a pleasant surprise to receive my
"VideoFinders" catalogue in the mail today and see
that they now have the "Two Portraits" video
available for $29.95. Their phone is
1-800-799-1199.
There's a great picture of the video cover. A very
young, intense GG. Here's the description:
"Filmed at the time of iconoclastic pianist Glenn
Gould's artistic debut, these two historic profiles
capture the virtuoso in his prime.
<On the Record> follows him in New York for a
recording session as he banters with a cab driver
{cut out of A&Es showing} and sound engineers, and
then settles into his work -- recording Bach's
Italian Concerto-- with his renowned vigor,
sensitivity and perfectionism.
<Off the Record> shows Gould's personal side. Set
at his cottage retreat near Lake Simcoe, Ontario,
Gould revels in his freedom from public
performance--playing for his collie, rambling
through the woods, and cahatting about composition
with fellow musician Franz Kraemer."
Colleen, see, it never ends!
