Celebrating Artistic Heroes The Glenn Gould Foundation celebrates artistic heroes who exemplify the transformative impact of art on society and the human condition. We honour Glenn Gould’s spirit and legacy by celebrating innovation and excellence, promoting creativity and transforming lives through the power of the arts. Glenn Gould is the best selling classical pianist of all time. He is also a writer, broadcaster, and a prophet of the information age who fully embraced new forms of technology and foresaw their game-changing impacts on society. He is the subject of over 85 books in 18 languages, as well as numerous plays and films, a ballet, and the winner of five Grammy awards, including a posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award. Almost 40 years after his death, he remains a global icon.

It honours a true genius and is responsible for so many societal and educational benefits. As an organisation, it is an enhancer of life.” - James Rhodes, one of the world’s preeminent and most popular classical pianists, played a Glenn Gould Foundation concert in Toronto in 2020. He has written about the childhood sexual abuse he survived, and how music – and listening to Glenn Gould – helped save his life. Richard Asnett Library and Archives Canada “Music saved my life and has saved the lives of thousands of at-risk children in Venezuela ... like food, like health care, like education, music has to be a right for every citizen.” - Gustavo Dudamel, musical director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic,who had his musical beginnings in El Sistema.

  • Gustavo Dudamel 2020/21 Season (Long Biography)
    GUSTAVO DUDAMEL 2020/21 SEASON (LONG BIOGRAPHY) Gustavo Dudamel is driven by the belief that music has the power to transform lives, to inspire, and to change the world. Through his dynamic presence on the podium and his tireless advocacy for arts education, Dudamel has introduced classical music to new audiences around the world and has helped to provide access to the arts for countless people in underserved communities. As the Music & Artistic Director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, now in his twelfth season, Dudamel’s bold programming and expansive vision led The ​ New York Times to herald the LA Phil as “the most important orchestra in America – period.” ​ With the COVID-19 global pandemic shutting down the majority of live performances, Dudamel has committed even more time and energy to his mission of bringing music to young people across the globe, firm in his belief that the arts play an essential role in creating a more just, peaceful, and integrated society. While quarantining in Los Angeles, he hosted a new radio program from his living room entitled “At Home with Gustavo,” sharing personal stories and musical selections as a way to bring people together during a time of isolation. The program was broadcast locally as well as internationally in both English and Spanish, with guest co-hosts including, among others, composer John Williams, his wife, actress María Valverde. Dudamel also participated in Global Citizen’s Global Goal: Unite For Our Future TV fundraising special, giving a ​ ​ socially-distanced performance from the Hollywood Bowl with the LA Phil and YOLA (Youth Orchestra Los Angeles).

  • Gould's Notes on Bach's Goldberg Variations by Glenn Gould Copyright/Source
    32 Short Films About Glenn Gould (1993), a film directed by François GIRARD and written by Girard with Don MCKELLAR, offers 32 biographical insights into the life of Canadian pianist Glenn GOULD. Non-linear in its construction, the film is made up of 32 segments, each of which explains a facet of Gould's complex interior life (the title refers to the number of the Goldberg Variations, Gould's most famous interpretation). Gould's odd relationships with friends, his obsession with long phone calls, his ideas about music and the human voice are just a few of the themes dealt with in the film. Several segments deal with his celebrated 1967 radio documentary, The Idea of the North. Another sequence attempts to reconstruct the abstract symphony of human and mechanical sound as it might have struck Gould when he entered a truck stop on the edge of Toronto, a concept of sound and music that was central to Gould's radio work. One of the "short films" is an animated piece by Norman MCLAREN with Gould's piano playing on the soundtrack. 32 Short Films marked a shift in style for Canada's semi-commercial cinema. Although Canadian filmmakers David CRONENBERG, Atom EGOYAN and Patricia ROZEMA had gained significant international attention during the 1980s and early 1990s, 32 Short Films departed from the narrative strategy of these filmmakers and turned instead to Canada's rich tradition of EXPERIMENTAL FILM and video for its inspiration. Experimental filmmaker Arthur Lipsett's innovative assembly of film fragments may have influenced the structure of Girard's film, while Michael SNOW's minimalism could have inspired the sequence in 32 Short Films composed only of extreme close-ups of piano hammers hitting the strings.

  • West Side Story
    To Our Readers ow can something be as fresh, as bril­ Hliant, as explosively urgent as "West Side Story," and be 50 years old? How can this brand new idea for the American theatre have been around for half a century? Leonard Bernstein used to say that he wished he could write the Great American Opera. He was still designing such a project shortly before his death. But in retrospect, we can say that he fulfilled his wish. "West Side Story" is performed to enthusiastic audiences in opera houses around the world - recently in La Scala and, before this year is out, at the Theatre du Chatelet in Paris. Is there a Broadway revival in the works? The signs are highly auspicious. In this issue, we celebrate "West Side Story": its authors, its original performers, and its continuing vital presence in the world. Chita Rivera regrets that, due to scheduling conflicts, she was unable to contribute to this issue by print time. [ wEst SIDE ·sronv L "West Side Story" continues to break ground to this very day. Earlier this year, the show was performed by inmates at Sing Sing. A few months later, it was presented as part of a conflict resolution initiative for warring street gangs in Seattle. And if there's a heaven, Leonard Bernstein was up there dancing for joy last summer while Gustavo Dudamel led his sensational 200-piece Simon Bolfvar Youth Orchestra in the "Mambo" at the Proms in London. The audience went bonkers. Check it out: http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/ 6pXLfR60dUfQNjMYZ There are few theatrical experiences as reliably thrilling as a student production of "West Side Story".

  • A Listening Guide for the Indispensable Composers by Anthony Tommasini
    A Listening Guide for The Indispensable Composers by Anthony Tommasini 1 The Indispensable Composers: A Personal Guide Anthony Tommasini A listening guide INTRODUCTION: The Greatness Complex Bach, Mass in B Minor I: Kyrie I begin the book with my recollection of being about thirteen and putting on a recording of Bach’s Mass in B Minor for the first time. I remember being immediately struck by the austere intensity of the opening choral singing of the word “Kyrie.” But I also remember feeling surprised by a melodic/harmonic shift in the opening moments that didn’t do what I thought it would. I guess I was already a musician wanting to know more, to know why the music was the way it was. Here’s the grave, stirring performance of the Kyrie from the 1952 recording I listened to, with Herbert von Karajan conducting the Vienna Philharmonic. Though, as I grew to realize, it’s a very old-school approach to Bach. Herbert von Karajan, conductor; Vienna Philharmonic (12:17) Today I much prefer more vibrant and transparent accounts, like this great performance from Philippe Herreweghe’s 1996 recording with the chorus and orchestra of the Collegium Vocale, which is almost three minutes shorter. Philippe Herreweghe, conductor; Collegium Vocale Gent (9:29) Grieg, “Shepherd Boy” Arthur Rubinstein, piano Album: “Rubinstein Plays Grieg” (3:26) As a child I loved “Rubinstein Plays Grieg,” an album featuring the great pianist Arthur Rubinstein playing piano works by Grieg, including several selections from the composer’s volumes of short, imaginative “Lyrical Pieces.” My favorite was “The Shepherd Boy,” a wistful piece with an intense middle section.

    GENIUS WITHIN The Inner Life of Glenn Gould A DOCUMENTARY FILM BY MICHÈLE HOZER & PETER RAYMONT “I’m very much the anti-hero in real life, but I compensate madly in my dreams.” Glenn Gould “A must see film.” - John Anderson, VARIETY “A stunning array of archival footage highlighted by personal anecdotes from close friends…” - Steve Gow, Metro “...Even those of us who don’t know about Gould’s work will appreciate this film.” - Steve McLean, MSN.ca DIRECTORS MICHÈLE HOZER & PETER RAYMONT PRODUCER PETER RAYMONT EDITOR MICHÈLE HOZER PHOTOGRAPHY WALTER CORBETT SOUND BRUCE CAMERON MUSIC PERFORMED BY GLENN GOULD PRODUCED BY WHITE PINE PICTURES glenngouldmovie.com GENIUS WITHIN The Inner Life of Glenn Gould A DOCUMENTARY FILM BY MICHÈLE HOZER & PETER RAYMONT An enigmatic musical poet, world-renowned pianist Glenn Gould continues to captivate twenty-seven years after his untimely death. His inimitable music and writing reveal an insightful worldview that we are still unraveling – his use of complex recording technologies, including manipulating recordings over dubbing, was unprecedented. Though there have been many documentaries about Gould, most are distracted by his eccentricities, focusing on the pills, gloves, and scarves while missing the man and message behind the music. Genius Within: The Inner Life of Glenn Gould pierces through the myths, revealing the man beneath the icon. Genius Within: The Inner Life of Glenn Gould weaves together an unprecedented array of never-before seen footage of Gould, photographs and excerpts from his private home recordings and diaries plus personal interviews with Gould’s most intimate friends and lovers, some who have never spoken about him publicly before, to reconstruct his thoughts on music, art, society, love, and life.
