Glenn Gould, the iconic Canadian classical pianist, left an indelible mark on the music world with his extraordinary interpretations, particularly of Johann Sebastian Bach. Born in Toronto in 1932, Gould's career was marked by both brilliance and eccentricity. He gained international acclaim with his debut recording of Bach's Goldberg Variations at the age of 23, a performance that remains one of the most celebrated classical recordings of the 20th century. Gould's playing was distinguished by his remarkable technical proficiency and his unique ability to articulate the contrapuntal texture of Bach's music. Despite his global fame, Gould chose to retire from public performances at the age of 31, focusing instead on studio recordings and radio projects. His legacy includes not just his musical contributions but also his explorations in various artistic media, his insightful writings, and his distinctive, often unorthodox, approach to music. Gould's influence extends beyond his recordings, encompassing his broader cultural impact and his enduring reputation as one of Canada's most important cultural figures.
