Glenn Gould
By the time he reached his mid-20s, GLENN GOULD had changed the way the world listened to the keyboard works of J.S. Bach. We mark his birth and death anniversaries with two prize-winning feature films and these explorations of the Goldberg Variations, the work closely associated with the enigmatic genius:
• A recording by Matthew Halls on harpsichord will be the audio track for a new component of the DigitalBach.com website, premiering in June. • The Hinkle Seminar July 14, with Hewitt, Halls, and musicologist Tim Smith, author of the interactive components of DigitalBach.com.

The famously eccentric pianist (played by Colm Feore) is the subject of this idiosyncratic film portrait with a form inspired by J. S. Bach’s Goldberg Variations. The 1993 film won four of Canada’s Genie Awards and Best Canadian Feature Film at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Rare footage, photographs, and excerpts from Gould’s private home recordings and diaries plus personal interviews with his most intimate friends and lovers reconstruct the enigmatic artist’s thoughts on music, art, society, love, and life. “Scrupulous, candid, and eye-opening” —A.O. Scott, The New York Times 15
