Glenn Gould: Off the Record
Canadian concert pianist Glenn Gould enjoys a respite at his lakeside cottage. It is an aspect of Gould previously known only to the collie pacing beside him through the woods, the fishermen resting their oars to hear his piano, and fellow musicians like Franz Kraemer, with whom Gould talks of composition. (First of two parts.)
From the archive
A primitive but charming local program which aired on DuMont's Washington D.C. affiliate. Two people lip-sync other people's records, in a show aired in a 15-minute time-slot. While most of my uploads are from my own sources, I admit this one I "stole" from YouTube, where someone uploaded it. But given how many YouTube accounts have vanished over the years, it might be a good idea to upload it here in case their account goes kaboom. Note: picture quality below my usual standards (understandable, given that it is an 8-year-old YouTube video). Also, you cannot upload it to YouTube, since it has already been uploaded to there.
