“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 (opens in a new tab)

“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
