N EWSL ET TER IMZ MEMBER NEWS NEW PRODUCTIONS CLASART CLASSIC Celebrating Glenn Gould In autumn 2012, the musical world will be celebrating two anniversaries of the great musician Glenn Gould (1932-1982): the 80th of his birth, and the 30th of his death. Glenn Gould was able to find new depths in overly familiar masterpieces.

He knew no technical difficulties. And he was able to make a profound and inexplicable personal connection with the people who listened to him. Gould was also a born showman who vividly reflected what he was feeling about the work he was performing.

On the occasion of this double-anniversary, Clasart Classic restored, complying with today’s standards, one of the most exceptional series from its archives: Glenn Gould plays Bach. In 1980 and 1981, pianist Glenn Gould made three video recordings devoted to Johann Sebastian Bach's keyboard music. Whether in conversation with his host, acclaimed French director of musical films Bruno Monsaingeon, or plumbing the depths of Bach's music in performance, Gould offers us, in each and every moment of this trilogy, the fascinating case study of a genius.

N EWSL ET TER EUROARTS

IMZ MEMBER NEWS This element of showmanship takes on particular prominence in the trilogy where Gould's relaxed relationship with Monsaingeon bathes the production in a warm and surprisingly humorous atmosphere: Gould's wordplays and unexpected formulations betray a love of language almost as great as his love of music. These three films encapsulate Gould's personal ideas on Bach and his keyboard music,

How To Get Out Of The Cage A Year With John Cage From 1982 to 1992 award-winning filmmaker Frank Scheffer worked with John Cage on numerous occasions, which resulted in a unique archive of historical audio-visual material.
