Despite his premature death in 1982, Canadian pianist Glenn Gould
remains extraordinarily influential in contemporary music. Known
especially for his interpretations of Bach and a wide range of
classical, romantic, and twentieth-century composers, Gould was
also an accomplished composer and conductor, as well as provocative
lecturer, writer, and critic. His music remains vital on
recordings, and his published writings, and taped radio
documentaries and television specials are available for archival
research. Canning's A Glenn Gould Catalog provides a detailed
roadmap to his career as performer, conductor, composer, host,
guest, narrator, writer, and producer. The volume's main catalog,
organized by composer, documents Gould's commercial discography and
Canadian public radio and television recordings with detailed
information, including: recording dates and location, release or
broadcast date, commercial catalog and internal matrix numbers,
album or broadcast name, producer(s), and various notes. The
Musical Repertoire and Recording Chronicle sections provide access
to the recordings by composition and opus number and by recording
data respectively. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Archives
section lists Gould's radio and television programs by date, and
other chronologies are included for his Sony Catalog, Other
Commercial Releases, and Unreleased Recordings. A bibliography of
Gould's published writings and a bibliographical note on writings
about Gould complete the volume. Carefully documented,
cross-referenced, and indexed, the Glenn Gould Catalog constitutes
an autobiographical outline of Gould's career through his works. It
is an important resource for research and a valuableadjunct to
published biographies and critical studies. The compiler's lively
introductory material is augmented by photographs and interview
commentary from Gould's colleagues.
