Glenn Gould's virtuosity has been acclaimed ever since his professional debut, aged fourteen

At nineteen, he began concert tours that circled the world and brought him international recognition for performances that were frequently described in terms of sheer genius

Four years ago, Glenn Gould became a concert dropout, withdrawing from public concert life to devote himself entirely to recordings, radio programmes

Why so much love for recordings?
Because it's the future

However, the man who recently recorded Beethoven's Fifth Symphony in a version for a single instrument, the piano, has very serious views on his function as an artist

It's the future for music, it's the future for performing music, it's the future for writing music, it's the future for listening to music. All of our future's of music are involved in recording, it's as simple as that, and as complicated as that

It's the future
Because it's the future
