Dear Anne and all F minors,
I'm reading that You told us and.... what
emotion I feel !
Thanks for share with others friends of Gould
this personal experience!
Any live Glenn's souvenir is
welcome on the list.
Please, I could know Your personal think about
the GG's earliest Compositions published in the recent
Spring"Glenn Gould Magazine".
"Our Gifts"
composed when Glenn was ten years old and "2 Pieces for Organ" composed at
age 18.
I 'm impressed by these performances and I'm
grateful to "The Glenn Gould Foundation" for this
publication.
Best
regards
Valeria Massari

Subject: He talked to Glenn
Gould!!!!
Hey F Minors,
I just met someone who knew Glenn Gould!
I am hoping that someone on the list can do better and
tell us he/she actually met GG.
One of my husband's customers is a jazz musician.
Ken told him I liked jazz so he gave him a CD for me. He came to the
shop today and I got him to autograph this and the other CDs I bought.
Back to the GG stuff. Turns out my jazz man
recorded at the same CBC studio as Glenn Gould. GG had the studio booked
from midnight to 5 A.M. for a three week period.
I was told that when Mr. Gould entered the building the
jazz people were politely told their time was over. As they were leaving
the studio GG would ask them about their recording session. Hands were
not extended of course, merely a polite bow of the head.
"He was treated with kid gloves. CBC would do
anything for him." I could hardly keep from laughing when Rob said
something like "As soon as they knew he was coming they turned up the
heat!?!"
