Glenn Gould, an eccentric genius who played the piano like no one else before or since, was also a wonderful communicator of music and musicians. John Roberts has selected several interviews that have long been out of print, a variety of Gould's scripts for the CBC, and other new material. Here is Gould on Bach, Beethoven, and Bruchner; on the pianists Sviatoslav Richter, Alexis Weissenberg, and Bill Evans; and on the creative process, music in the electronic age, and the importance of ecstasy in music. Like his brilliant piano playing, the literary Gould will continue to challenge and inspire us.
