Re: A State of Mal Wonder

Dear Iori and all,

Glenn Gould probably knew the analogue age better than any of us - literally
from the inside out. The more important thing is that while GG was hunting
for perfection, I don't think he'd ever say "Aha - this is it! Whew - now I
don't have to look any more." Even perfection is relative, and a seeking
soul like his would remain open to possibilities.

...did he ever pronounce anything to be perfect?

...and wasn't he there when the original 1981 technicians made their
analogue recording alongside the digital one?

I think a nice glass of wine is in order - comfy chair, sit back and let the
music speak...

Cheers - Hele
