    Today, Sept. 25, 2012, would have marked the 80th birthday of Glenn Gould, and Oct. 4 is the 30th anniversary of his death. One can only wonder what Gould might have done had he lived a full life — he had many plans and spoke of them with customary enthusiasm — but I have no doubt that he would have loved the internet above all. Can you imagine an unfettered Gould finally able to remove the middlemen and record whatever he wanted, as often as he wanted to, and immediately share the results with his audience? (via Glenn Gould: Beyond Bach’s ‘Goldberg Variations’ : Deceptive Cadence : NPR)

    Glenn Gould on Sviatoslav Richter  

    “I’ve always believed that it’s possible to divide musical performance into two categories: those who seek to exploit the instrument they use and those who do not.”
