Hi Paul, (you should join the Friends group, they need the money.)
     Anyway, the At Home cd is really very charming, it is a wandering
discussion between a youthful GG and his occasional producer Vincent
Tovell. They cover (and I mention only the things I really loved) Gould's
polite disregard for jazz and his self-professed complete inability to play
it; Gould's Opus One - which he plays a few measures from on piano, if you
can believe it; and a smattering of Glenn's own opinionated summaries of a
whole range of composers including Chopin, Bach, and of course Schoenberg.
The musical content of the cd is really quite minimal, but it is
nonetheless a surprisingly fresh interview compared to GG's later efforts.
If you are one of the obsessive-collector types (guilty!) then it is
guaranteed to please. I recommend it.

Regards,
Kristen
