Description

Despite his premature death in 1982, Canadian pianist Glen Gould remains extraordinarily influential in contemporary music. Known especially for his interpretations of Bach and a wide range of classical, romantic and 20th century composers, Gould was, himself, an accomplished composer and conductor as well as a provocative lecturer, writer and critic. His music remains vital on recordings, and his published writings, taped radio documentaries and television specials are available for archival research. Nancy Canning provides a detailed roadmap to Gould's career as performer, conductor, composer, host, guest, narrator, writer and performer. Primarily a discography, the volume's main catalogue, organised by composer, documents Gould's recordings with detailed information, including producer, release date, location, matrix number, album, catalogue source and various notes. The musical repertoire and recording chronicle sections provide access to the recordings by composition and opus number and by recording date, respectively. The Canadian Broadcasting Company archives section lists Gould's radio and television programmes by date, and chronologies are included for his Sony catalogue, other commercial releases and unreleased recordings. A bibliography of Gould's published writings and a bibliographical note on writings about Gould complete the volume. Carefully documented, cross-referenced and indexed, the "Glen Gould Catalog" constitutes an autobiographical outline of Gould's career through his works. It is a useful resource for research and an adjunct to published biographies and critical studies. The compiler's material is augmented by interview commentary from Gould's colleagues and photographs.
