Hi Eileen,

Enjoy the Richter video, and be patient with it.  The pace of the film is
more like one of Ricther's Schubert sonatas rather than his Rachmaninov or
Chopin.  The pace of the film announces itself from the very beginning,
which opens with an excerpt for a slow movement of one of Schubert's
sonatas.  The G Major one I think.

Let me know what you think of Gould's voice in the film.  It sounds
overdubbed to me, as in, someone other than Gould is speaking those words.

I assume Bruno Mosaingeon is still alive.  This video on Ricther was made
just a few years ago.  I did few internet searches on him and came up with
practically nothing except for the tapes for sale.  I know he wrote and
edited a few books on Gould in French, but the French amazon site doesn't
list them for sale.  Odd.


Goodnight,

Jim
