<DIV>Hi Elaine - one of my favorite albums (and aren't they all favorites) by GG
is the Sibelius album. And I love the Inventions too (each note like a clear
bell!).</DIV>
<DIV>I know you live in Toronto: check out <A href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L40LlSGMC8A">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L40LlSGMC8A</A>
(Wm Byrd's Sellinger's round).</DIV>
<DIV>I was planning to drive to Toronto and visit GG's grave on Memorial
Day (as I did two years ago) - but tied up with work. Glad you were able to make
it.</DIV>
<DIV>I sent some ideas to John Miller, but haven't heard a response. Is
there a special website?</DIV>
<DIV>Your chair sounds beautiful. <BR>K</DIV>

<TD vAlign=top>Hi Fred, Maryellen, and others,
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Have you been sending your ideas about honouring GG to Stratford?
It was such a nice invitation. I am busy designing a GG chair of wrought
iron, with notes and scales and flowers, and wild animals entwined...I
sent in my idea but have to actually make a proper representation of
it. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The music is endlessly appealing, isn't it? The Bach is
untouchable! I drive myself nutty with it. Right now I'm listening to
the Inventions and Sinfonias. Does anybody else get chills listening to
Glenn's "Kyllikki" (Sibelius)? But I have to say his version of Gibbons'
"Lord of Salisbury" takes me the closest to heaven.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Last weekend I managed a trip to the gravesite again. There are
wild violets there now. Someone had picked a few and put them there with
some dandylions, it was quite touching.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Regards, Elaine</DIV>

text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"<BR><BR>Morning all. I listened
to one of the Beethoven lectures over the weekend, at home. It
was delicious and wonderful. <BR><BR> Last night I
dusted off my DVD copy of "Hereafter", which I had not seen in a few
years. Of course I was overwhelmed with great emotion and found
myself in tears at the incredible beauty of the music making, laughing
at his sense of humor and in awe of his intellect, which I think is
still not properly appreciated by his fellow artists. I say this
because the die-hards have not fallen out of love or respect. He
deserves more recognition from other artists, giving Gould the credit
due, acknowledging that his artistic approach, filled with extremes as
they were, all were entirely underwritten by a deeply passionate
desire to know the inner realms of the musical thoughts. I do
not know that GG was the first philosophical musical prodigy, but for
me he is the most important.<BR><BR>Another impression I get from the
documentary is that GG often achieved levels of altered states of
consciousness and from these highly charged and ecstatic states he was
able to see the music as if for the first time; even more, his
insights totally informed the manner in which he approached
interpretation. The section where he explains the "why" of his
infamous Mozart sonata approach I found myself finally understanding a
bit more, why his interpretation was acceptable within the strict
agenda that his approach had set for itself. His objective was
to turn the overly familiar sonata inside out and deeply examine the
architecture of the theme as it evolves through exposition. He
is not the only one to search for these types of insights and he is
often remembered as having too much recourse to gross exaggeration in
order to make his points. However, once one has finally grasped some
of the insights that his performances afford us, we are better off and
our artistic apprec!<BR>iation is deeper. What can possibly be
found in such a journey? That is one reason I can never be away
from listening to GG. There is so much there to contemplate and
be enlightened by.<BR><BR>cheers,<BR><BR>Fred
