Hello there lovely people!
So the weekend was a rainy one!! I was going to head over to Barbican Centre as they were showing Conversations with Glenn Gould and Glenn Gould: The Russian Journey. But the weather was too bleak!!

I became aware of this amazing pianist on my trip to Toronto in 2001 and have never looked back. He was brilliant, masterful, skillfull, with oddities and all. As a student of piano, I like to listen to a varied repertoire of songs and artists.
I highly recommend his works, my favorite piece is the Aria from the Goldberg Variations, BWV 988 by J.S. Bach. It was featured on the Hannibal movie soundtrack and is listed as (Aria da Capo). If you really want a treat, just acquire the Glenn Gould Goldberg Variations CD, it is phenomenal. If you want to know more about this amazing pianist, I recommend Glenn Gould: The Ecstasy and Tragedy of Genius by Peter F. Ostwald.

Happy Listening !!!
