Jego zdaniem technologia rejestracji dźwięku miała walnie przyczynić się do upadku filharmonii. Co więcej, nagrania miały fundamentalnie zmienić słuchacza, który stanie się równym partnerem wykonawcy i kompozytora, bo będzie miał wpływ na ostateczny kształt brzmieniowy słuchanego utworu - właśnie poprzez technologię. To nie jedyne poglądy na przyszłość Goulda. Jak rzeczywistość cyfrowa oraz pandemia je zweryfikowały? Co powiedziałby np. na wielką popularno...

The Story Talks BackGlenn Gould: Remembering a master storyteller of music and mediaAt the age of 22, Glenn Gould burst onto the global music scene – an instant star, thanks to his virtuoso recording of a then-obscure Bach work, “The Goldberg Variations.” And from the beginning, Gould was not just a musician, but a character who might have stepped from the pages of a novel – cheerfully eccentric, an admitted hypochondriac who wore scarves in the summertime, and a loner who preferred to sleep during the day and work through the night.
Doing things differently seemed to make life more interesting for Gould’s restless mind. He chose an often-surprising repertoire – and, after a rela...

Weird StudiesScarcely Human at All: On Glenn Gould's 'Prospects of Recording'
Most people know Glenn Gould as a brilliant pianist who forever changed how we receive and interpret the works of Europe's great composers: Bach, Beethoven, Schoenberg... But Gould was also an aesthetic theorist who saw a new horizon for the arts in the age of recording technology. In the future, he said, the superstitious cult of history, performance, and authorship would disappear, and the arts would retrieve a "neo-medieval anonymity" that would allow us to see them for what they really are: scarcely human at all. This episode interprets Gould's prophecy with the help of the Canadian media theorist...
