<DIV><FONT size=4>Pat - the "fact" that some of the tapes are in serious
condition should be a major cause of alarm for these Canadian National
(and World) Treasures to be restored/backed up/duplicated for future
generations. Glenn Gould himself regarded the performances in
the recordings to be valued by the listener not just for the moment
(as from the live performances), "but forever". I would like to know if the
Glenn Gould Foundation has a project to help preserve their namesake's
treasures, in conjunction with the Library of Canada. This should be a high
priority on their agenda. If this project does exist, what is the
progress?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Calibri>Mary, prolly the intro to the Kingswell
bio I reckon. Kingswell is not using footnotes *, but I reckon I must shell
out some CHF for this book. The introduction looks promising enough. I'd love
to hear that recording since I am in Elisabethan Mode (Tallis, Tye etc.)
