Thanks to one of my favorite bloggers, I discovered someone very interesting and had to share.
In 1957, a 24-year-old Canadian virtuoso pianist named Glenn Gould visited the Soviet Union on an official mission of cultural exchange. Gould’s presence made such an impact among the Russians who heard him play that, fifty years later, it is still possible to interview people for whom the encounter with Gould is still one of the most significant events of their life. Have a listen.
