>Hi Jon, and welcome to the list.

>I forget where it's at in the Glenn Gould reader, but I think somewhere in there he makes that claim as well. It's hard for me to take him seriously though, on this matter and I'd imagine Schoenberg and Bach would come ahead of Gibbons on his favorites list.

>PS: I wasn't very impressed that the new three disc set from culture. Anyone else seen these? I think the other films on Gould are better. This have their good moments, but I'd rank the other films on Gould as better than these.
