you've got me bent over with laughter with Ethel Merman: all I can hear now is
that massive explosion: "EVERYTHING'S COMING UP ROSES FOR ME AND FOR YOU!!!"

size=4>For anyone who hasn't already read (or reread) Gould's 'High Fidelity'
article on "Classical Barbra" you simply must. It says so much about how he
approached music. It's also a really touching love letter. There is a tiny
little anecdote on page 192 of Otto Friedrich's Gould biography which describes
an adoring Barbra and an absolutely stage struck Gould (and I imagine a rather
nonplussed Stokowski, being the renowned 'tombeur de femmes' who witnessed
Gould's magic moment and must have found the whole thing fort
quaint).</FONT><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt" face="Times New Roman"

size=4>Quite right, Streisand is no "fog horn", not in any sense. I'm not
personally drawn to her style nor to her choice of repertoire but there is NO
doubting her sublime delivery. Gould fell under her spell and thought that he
could maybe right a few wrongs in her repertoire: I find that utterly charming.
As to whether Streisand returned the compliment indeed she did - it was she who
poked her head into that playback booth at Columbia NYC to introduce herself to
Glenn Gould. Alas, she happened to be accompanied by another, lesser, Gould that
day: a certain Elliot.</FONT><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt"
