Editorial Review:
Description
Three remarkable programs celebrating the life and legacy of one of the greatest pianists of all time, each including rare bonus features!
The Russian Journey
This is the story of Gould's 1957 trip to Russia—an event that had a long-lasting effect on the performer and his audiences, and would influence future generations of Russian musicians. This program features the unreleased recording of Gould's lecture/recital at the Leningrad Conservatory, as well as previously unknown, unreleased documents and photographs. The impact of his visit is also recaptured through the words of celebrated contemporary musicians Mstislav Rostropovich, Vladimir Ashkenazy, and other prominent musicians, musicologists, film and theater directors.
Life & Times
An insightful biography of the multi-faceted Glenn Gould, this documentary includes remarkable archival footage of Gould performing, relaxing, working in his recording studio, and being interviewed. This documentary includes remarkable archival footage of Gould performing, relaxing, working in his recording studio, and being interviewed.
Extasis
Extasis helps us better understand Glenn Gould the man, and Glenn Gould the musician. In addition to recalling different stages of his life, the film focuses in particular on the passions he was capable of unleashing as well as on the sensitivity and intensity which this eminent musician would draw on to "recreate" the works he was performing. Combining images and music, this remarkable documentary chronicles the legacy of one of the greatest pianists of all times.
