Listen in on vintage radio recordings with Glenn Gould: The Radio Artist to gain insight into this brilliant pianist's mind. Prepared and produced by Glenn Gould for the Canadian Brodcasting Corporation, these radio documentaries, or "oral tone poems" examine the lives of people living in isolation.

Fascinating radio programs from the past October 29, 2008

Glenn Gould was a master at the keyboard as well as a thoughtful and respected musician. These CBC radio programs allowed Gould to reflect on certain musical topics including the music of Canada as well as master musicians such as Stokowski and Casals. I found Stokowski's view of music and the war years particularly relevant given our current engagements in Iraq and Afganistan. Not to be missed

To a Gould fan, this is more to obsess over. In review of the first 3 discs (the solitude series), they are both wonderful and inspiring to listen to; multi-layered and worth the effort it takes to pay attention to their content. To anyone else, or someone only passively interested in Gould, its a odd, dense collection of experimental radio shows about Canadian solitude. If that statement makes you curious, you may like the album. If you don't care about experimental radio shows too much, of for Gould's P.O.V. on things, this is not the disk for you. The last 2 disc contain radio shows on Casals and Stokowski for this 5 disc set. These are worth listing to by any casual listener remotely interested in the topic.
