O capaz, por ahí suena parecido,se me ocurre ahora ya que me vino el recuerdo de otro Gould o como sea,de música de películas recuerdo era y que nos regaló un profesor de gimnasia cómo se decía allá y entonces.Muy lindo long play ,dedicado incluso,que atesore durante años y que por fin regalé. Qué notable la memoria pues y gracias a tanto arte.
Picture from Glenn's one trip to the Caribean... : ) Thanks so much for posting all of this. Never thought that I so easily would have access to the content of these conversations. 9 Favo's, obviously.
...I read somewhere that Gould would actually have written out all of his interviews before actually having them...I wonder is this particular sit-down is an exception.
I think not, mb. His later interview with Tim Page was, indeed, scripted. But this conversation with Vincent Tovell, as well as the later 1969 "Glenn Gould: Concert Dropout," have the ring of genuine discovery (to my ears, at least).
let's see, i just found a wonderful treasure trove of goodies on the this most excellent of youtube channels. somehow, someway it'll be taken down in a week or two. thanks for providing all this fascinating material, erp65. do u remember "accountofthesun"? it was the most wonderful youtube channel of art documentaries and rare artist interviews. poof! it up and disappeared.
@SimmySlydeJr2 -- He did indeed -- especially his television "chats" with other musicians. Also, check out his interview with Tim Page on the "Glenn Gould: A State of Wonder" CD set. Scripted. This interview, however, as you suggest, seems unscripted to me, as does his interview with John McClure "Glenn Gould: Concert Dropout" (which I've also uploaded). But one never knows with the inveterate prankster, does one?
@erp65 I'm sure Gould's scripting of interviews began long after 1959. Later, everything was scripted. Have you seen "Glenn Gould's Toronto"? Every word is scripted ... yet he SEEMS so spontaneous. It's uncanny and almost a bit unsettling. GG became more and more of a control freak in his life. I love his playing, but I think something was a bit unbalanced in his personal life. (It's almost a cliche to say so, I suppose.)
He may not have scripted this like later interviews, but I can imagine the questions and answers here being gone over beforehand... possibly with Gould suggesting questions. As much as I like watching any Gould videos, the scripted stuff just comes off as bizarre. His obsessiveness with control slowly grew beyond his playing and into every aspect of his life it seems
