Glenn Gould′s virtuosity has been acclaimed

Ever since his professional debut, aged fourteen

At nineteen, he began concert tours that circled the worldBrought him international recognition for performances

That were frequently described in terms of sheer genius

Four years ago, Glenn Gould became a concert dropout

Withdrawing from public concert life

To devote himself entirely to recordings, radio programmes

Why so much love for recordings?

Because it's the future

However, the man who recently recorded Beethoven′s Fifth Symphony

In a version for a single instrument, the piano

Has very serious views on his function as an artist

It's the future for music, it's the future for performing music

It′s the future for writing music

It′s the future for listening to music

All of our future's of music are involved in recording

It′s as simple as that, and it's complicated

It′s the future

The future
