Gould’s Goldbergs and Radio Art

Infamous for his unorthodox concert programming, Canadian pianist, writer, and composer Glenn Gould declared at the end of his performance career that the classical concert was dead. Thursday’s program is dedicated to the iconoclastic Gould, who eventually went on to work in radio. Tim Page, editor of The Glenn Gould Reader and classical music critic for the Washington Post, will discuss Gould's recordings of Bach's Goldberg Variations. Plus, WNYC’s Sarah Montague will examine the ways that Gould expressed himself through his radio dramas.
