Liner Notes
Mr. Gould is so valid and serious an artist that I must take seriously anything he conceives in good faith, and his conception is interesting enough so that I feel you should hear it too.
The music was passing through a mind that took nothing for granted. It was an original mind that worked on a different set of premises and principles from other pianists.
Glenn brought an extraordinary awareness and imagination, he had a very plastic mind, and he was capable of growing, of changing too.
