performances as well as Shostakovich's compositions, as both celebrate the same
birth date. Carl Grapentine, the morning announcer likes Gould. He also
mentioned the book Reinventing Bach which does refer to Gould, among others:

disappoint readers in central Europe. arte, 3sat etc. have chosen to ignore

one will be on for remembering his death ! Bugger ! </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT class=Apple-style-span size=4 face="'Lucida Grande'">That raises a
few questions. GG still sells but is he still important or relevant in a
musical environment where even clowns like Lang Lang can become a mass media
phenomenon ? Is his stuff past the sell-by date in terms of musical importance
? His writings out of date ? Are the 60s and 70s that far away that it seems
on longer relevant to what he said about the art of recording back then ? Is
GG History just like shellac recordings and black and white TV ? An antique, a
fossil, a legend from ages past, now reduced to a Cult ? And what remains is
the Hagiography (Mary, I got it this time) of the young Genius (ahem) playing
the Goldbergs in the mind of radio schedule programmers and the classical
music public ? Or are those media people just a bunch of ignorant louts who
should know better ? or has someone just failed to promote his legacy
correctly ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT class=Apple-style-span size=4 face="'Lucida Grande'">So is GG still
relevant for classical music or aspiring producers or is is just the level of
aqqired taste that has gone down ? No nostalgia or hagiography, perhaps this
question is unanswerable, but it would be nice to get closer to the truth I
reckon….</FONT></DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE type="cite">Stephanie, Nothing too serious. He did
all kinds of routines, trying out different accents. That was a sign

Surely not. Strangely enough LL started his American career

<DIV>He was sponsored by Clemson's program director. She is wild

<DIV><BR></DIV>I like to imagine what GG would have been like at age 80.
He would probably dropped the silly routines, found his own voice

<DIV><FONT size=4>This week german radio station Deutschlandfunk will
broadcast a few GG specials during weekday afternoons which can be
heard via web stream on their website:</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4>Other radio stations in the german-speaking world
are also paying tribute to GG either this or next week (including our
national public broadcaster here in CH, which is Radio DRS) and
further articles in the feuilletons are likely to follow. I shall post
