Glen Gould - Art of Piano
on: December 21, 2004, 05:30:09 AM
In the movie "The Art of Piano" Glen Gould plays a fantastic piece. The performance is in black and white, his hair is rather long, some of it draped over his forehead and there is an orchestra behind him.

Do any of you know the name of the song he is playing? or who composed it? it is absolutely amazing. It might be a bach piece but i dont know for certain.

thanks

i haven't seen "the art of piano" since... but as i remember, he only played excerpts from "the art of fugue". i'll look up the disc.
