What is Extraordinary Canadians Glenn Gould about?

Glenn Gould, one of the twentieth centurys most renowned classical musicians, was also known as an eccentric geniussolitary, headstrong, a hypochondriac virtuoso. Abandoning stage performances in 1964, Gould concentrated instead on mastering various recordings, radio, television, and print. His sudden death at age fifty stunned the world, but his music and legacy continue to inspire. Philosopher and critic Mark Kingwell regards Gould as an innovative thinker whose ideas about music governed his life. But those ideas were contradictory, mischievous, and deliberately provocative. Just as Gould played twenty-one takes to record the opening aria in the famed 1955 Goldberg Variations, Kingwell offers twenty-one takes on Goulds life. Each version offers a different interpretation of the man, but in each, Kingwell is sensitive to the complex harmonies and dissonances that sounded throughout the life of the great Gould.
