Glenn Gould, arguably the best pianist ever, has had a recent resurgence of popularity with some very notable achievements being attached to his name.  I was recently in Ottawa and was able to take in his exhibit at the Museum of civilization.  It truly is a remarkable exhibit with many insightful audio and video recordings.  His main stay Chickering Grand piano as well as his Steinway were among some of the articles.  For further information on the exhibit go to the official Museum of civilization website.  The exhibit runs till August 10, 2008.

Yamaha also has a interesting offering in it’s reproduction of the Glenn Goulds’ Goldberg Variations played on a Yamaha Disklavier.  These reproductions come in co-operation with Zenph studios.  I have yet to hear the reproductions, (the Yamaha rep keeps promising they will arrive) but am very keen on enjoying them when they do arrive.  For the full story visit the official Yamaha website.
