Thank you for the correct title of the documentary series, Mary! I
agree with you that it is perhaps the most multi-facetted portrait
of Gould (it's from 1974, avalilable on an EMI DVD with the English
title "The Alchemist"). It is crowned by a truly moving performance
of Bach's 6th partita.<br>
<br>
I do wish the copyright problems with "The Well-Tempered Listener"
will be sorted out. Not only does it contains some very interesting
discussions, but is the only one which features Gould on different
instruments playing the same fugue as well as visualizing the "one
hand for each voice experiment".<br>
<br>
Same goes for the three Bach programs which I think contains some of
Gould's very berst performances. It is sad Gould never got a chance
-- read Kevin Bazzana's "Wondrous Strange" -- to realize the
complete Bach series which would consist of some five programs with
examples of chamber music as well. <br>
<br>

A correction is in order:<br>
<br>
I agree with you Jorgen, the four "Chemins de la Musique" <u>docus
<b>with</b> Gould</u> from the late 1960's are perhaps the
best ever filmed <b>with </b>Gould. I think "Hereafter" got
stuck in Pat's throat, as it did with so many of us. It's a case
of apples and oranges though, as you point out: <font
