Colour

In place of the style's accent, in every theme. Deeper by day, softer by night.

Glenn Gould

1955

Pianist. He played Bach as if the lines were voices, left the concert stage at thirty-one and made the studio his hall.

What They Say

  • 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.

    Leonard BernsteinRemarks before the Brahms D minor Concerto, New York Philharmonic, 6 April 1962

  • 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.

    Harold C. SchonbergThe Great Pianists, 1987

  • Glenn brought an extraordinary awareness and imagination, he had a very plastic mind, and he was capable of growing, of changing too.

    Leon FleisherInterview with Elijah Ho, 19 September 2014
