Colour

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

Press

  • 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
