Re: GG and YM on the CBC

[Daniel Vaiser <vaiser@AIRMAIL.NET>]

Hello all:

If I remember, this was an interview from a series called "The Music of Man"
which was produced in the late 1970's by the CBC and another company, the
name of which I do not remember.  The Glenn Gould/Sir Yehudi Menuhin
interview was probably on the 7th program (if my memory serves me right) and
has the title of "Sound or Un-sound?" It is possible that your local public
library might have a video copy of the series, which is how I found out
about the interview.  Be well you all.

PS -- I believe there is a transcript of this interview somewhere in Mary Jo
Watts' Glenn Gould web site.
