    You have to feel bad for his father who outlived him and his mother by many years, but still got to witness his career first hand from the time he was born to his last moments. Thanks so much for uploading these pieces, they are indeed treasures to behold

    Glenn Gould was an amazing classical pianist. His artistry transcends ethereally. He was unique, so special. What loving parents and true friends. His unconditional love for animals lived in his soul.
    Thank you for this documentary. I'm looking forward to part 2. I have seen other documentaries on him.
    RIP 🙏❤️

    Amazing reflection of his ife. I first saw him in July 1963 at Bloor and Bedford in Toronto Annex area by U of T where he went for morning coffee,,,, a drug store cafe mix place... as he entered the place he had extended hands in front of him with his fingers wiggling as in the video...

    I just watched a youtube vudeo of a homeless guy who makes a living playing a community piano litterally on the streets of Florida. He plays pop songs very eloquently, his last name is also Gould. I thought it was strangely ironic.

    Fascinating his father’s account of an infant innately practising finger dexterity. Because that technique is still something astonishing.

      Just proof of his past life as a gifted pianist.

    We see it now and then, e.g. opera singers, bee in their bonnet string players. But Music is beyond ego and it just doesn’t fit with the tenets of her grace. So of course Gould represented such as these. The best musicians would seem to have no pretensions in person.

    So precious! Thank you for these! Is it possible to make subs for other documentaries such as the "On/Off the Record" and "Hereafter"? Sometimes it's hard to figure out what he's saying even when there are subs!

      That is Bach, Well-Tempered-Clavier Book II, Prelude in A major BWV 888. It comes from the film 'An Art of the Fugue'.
