[F_minor] OTish: GG Studio Question

["Anne M. Marble" <amarble@sff.net>]

We all know that references to Glenn Gould show up in the strangest places. 
Apparently, so does the Glenn Gould Studio. I was looking at the liner 
notes of the soundtrack for the _Capote_ movie (trying to find out where 
they got the excerpts of Capote reading from "In Cold Blood.") And that's 
when I found out that the soundtrack itself was "Recorded at the Glenn 
Gould Theatre, CBC Toronto." Well I wasn't expecting that!

Does anyone know if there are many other recordings made there? It's a 
small studio. Then again, it's a very subtle soundtrack, with only a piano 
used. There were probably more people in the recording booth than on the 
stage. (I wonder if the people in the recording booth talked about coffee 
while the recording was being made? <g>) For what it's worth, the movie was 
distributed by Sony Classics, so I wonder if they had a hand in the choice. 
Or maybe this was a budgetary decision.

Hmm. To make a true tribute to Glenn Gould, they should have put the studio 
in a department store after every one has gone home, and once in a while, 
have would-be shoplifters show up in the empty auditorim....
