<DIV><FONT size=4>Dear all</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Interestingly the National Library of Canada has a list of all
sorts of stuff that were found in GG’s estate ranging from a list of keys (!) to
various keepsakes and knicknacks ranging from a parking ticket he got in 1971,
postcards, prescriptions and whatnot. Interestingly he did keep some concert
reviews and other objects from his touring days. One wonders
why....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Unfortunetly they don’t list his records which would be
interesting indeed. Or I was unable to locate them on the NLC
website.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>There is a list of his Desert Islands Discs in <STRIKE>The
Holy Scriptures </STRIKE>The Glenn Gould Reader on page 437 of the paperback
edition, yet this will only tell you somethig about his subjective favourites at
that particular time and not his taste. I don’t have my GG Reader anymore, I had
to use Amazon to get this info....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>I do believe I have read somewhere that he had more than one
copy of Bill Evan’s brilliant Conversations With Myself and that one of the
people who had to deal with his estate was repackaging vinyl LPs back in to
their respective covers when his flat was cleared for a fair amount of
time.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Neil, if you really want to know what exactly was in his
collection then I reckon you have to contact the NLC.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Of course a record collection is something very private and to
have a look at the list of records in GG’s posession would make me feel a bit
like a voyeur. But it would be quite interesting and maybe give us some new
insights. Let’s hope he threw out those Streisand records after the 60s were
over....</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Interesting topic,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In the book Great Pianists Speak for Themselves (by Elyse March) Gould
mentions Rachmaninoff Second Concerto played by Alexis Weissenberg and
conducted by Karajan. Not a work you would expect Gould to listen to, but
apparently he found Weissenberg's playing so convincing that he made an
exception. </DIV></DIV>
