Pianist
Glenn Gould
Quit the concert platform at thirty-one and worked only in studios, humming audibly on every recording. His two Goldberg Variations, twenty-six years apart, are both landmarks.
Glenn Herbert Gould was a Canadian pianist and broadcaster. Regarded as one of the greatest pianists of the 20th century, he was renowned as an interpreter of the keyboard works of Johann Sebastian Bach. His playing was distinguished by remarkable technical proficiency and a capacity to articulate the contrapuntal texture of Bach's music.
