Glenn Gould (piano)

Description:

There is nothing like listening to Gould's playing to give one a more intense sense of the presence of a "genius. He continues to play the music he believes in, in his own unique way, as if he has no regard for what others have done before or what others are doing now. This Haydn, too, is very unique, yet exceptionally persuasive, and though he seems to be selfish, he conveys the essence of the mountain in the most vivid way. This collection of Haydn's late sonatas is also important in the sense that it was produced in New York, where the latest digital recording equipment was installed, rather than Toronto, where he recorded in the 1970s.
