GLENN GOULD: THE RUSSIAN JOURNEY

musicians performance

"This is not a conventional biography of a musician, but the story of one great event in Gould's life - his 1957 trip to Russia - an event that has had a long-lasting effect on the performer and his audiences, and would influence future generations of Russian musicians.Along with new facts and details about Gould's visit, this program features original Moscow and Leningrad recordings of Gould's concerts, including the unreleased recording of Gould's lecture/recital at the Leningrad Conservatory. Also featured are previously unknown, unreleased documents and photographs of Gould's trip, many from his 'confidential' file in the Department of Foreign Affairs.The impact of his visit is also recaptured through the words of celebrated contemporary musicians Mstislav Rostropovich, Vladimir Ashenazy, and other prominent musicians, musicologists, film and theater directors" (-DVD jacket)
