Hi everyone,
Computer problems again, hope this is rec'd okay.Pat, I have seen bits of 'Genius"; it played here but I caught only the last half on TV. I also saw part of it on French TV when I was vacationing in Paris in May but my French is lousy so I was trying to listen to the English underneath while simultaneously trying to understand the French overtop! A contrapuntal challenge of sorts.Maryellen, thanks for the story about meeting the Salvation Army guy, and the bee. I spent a Gouldian half-hour recently trying to get a ladybug to exit my apartment through a gap in my window screen. Speaking of the Sally Ann as we call it they do a lot of good work here helping the poor, alcoholics and druggies.Stefy, I loved the 3-D Gould! How long does it take to make one of those images?
Cheers, Elaine

Dear f_minor, Elaine, Stefy etc

Sefy, I'm sorry but aren't you a bit early with your birthday wishes ? Anyways, your 3D image is absolutely awsome !

Elaine, afaIk Thomas Harris wrote 3 novels about this Lecter bloke and GG has brief cameos in all of them being Lecter's favourite pianist. You haven't missed much if you haven't read them or seen the movies, the shock effect tends to wear off with time. There are definetly better page-turners out there.

If you mean the other documentaries by Bruno (Montsagenon) then I must warn you about Hereafter. This "documentary" is basically romantic Hero Worshipping kitsch.  I must admit that it has some moments (list member myazawa-san gets to deliver a letter to a GG fan in Japan) and you will get to see a few previously unreleased clips. But this is not GG, this is how Monsieur Montsagenone thinks GG was or at least how he sees GG must be seen. In the movie he goes on at lennght on what a joy and privilege it was to work with GG, yadda yadda yadda. I found that pompous, the director of a documentary has nothing to do whatsoever in front of the camera. The scene with that girl getting a GB tatoo is pointless and doesn't illustrate anything and that other scene with the woman claiming that GG's music saved her life is just kitsch. Montsagenon sees GG as some kind of 19th century tragic hero like Byron, Shelley or Rimbaud and we all know that GG was quite the
 contrary. But do go ahead!
  and watch it, make up your own midn, this is just my opinion.

Hold your breath for Genius Within. Based on the clips I have seen on youtube (before they were taken down), this is an interesting documentary, fun to watch and with a few surprises in store (i.e. The Foss Incident).  Let's hope for a 2 DVD set (the long TV version please) plus extras and extended interviews after the cinema run. I can dream, can't I ?

Pat

Subject: [f_minor] GG and films


      Hi everyone, 


      Thanks for cluing me in on the SOTL, Hannibal etc. movies being based on novels. "Duuhh!" from me. Here I was being steamed at J. Demme and/or screenwriters bringing dear GG's name into the script (in one or both of the films? I'm not sure and don't care to know at this point). Not being a reader of that genre (and only seeing bits of the films) I hadn't been aware of the origin of the story lines. However I guess the author (Harris? sorry I did look it up but have forgotten his complete name already) is quite highly esteemed apparently so I say "a chaque un son gout" and hope that is spelled correctly. I am fond of old Vincent Price movies but my appreciation for horror stops there pretty much.


      As for someone playing GG in a future film I hope it doesn't happen, though sometimes I think David Duchovny looks a tad like Glenn (but he's been in so many sex-themed shows let's not encourage it). The "Thiry-two" film is lovely but it still isn't Gould. I vote for cherishing his memory in the documentaries. I have a reissue of "On and Off the Record" by the NFB which probably many of you have too which has marvellous scenes of GG playing, walking about that old NY studio hiking up his pants, shirttail hanging out, sqeaking his chair to test how noisy it really gets (though I think they added some extra loud fake squeaks in the editing process), chatting with Howard Scott the producer and Don Hunstein the photographer etc. And he's so brilliant, handsome, riveting, funny. He's also in "The Golden Age of the Piano", briefly; and I have "Hereafter" and "The Alchemist" by Bruno Monsaingeon whose love and respect for Glenn shines through in his
 films. (I hope I can soon !
 get the other ones made by Bruno.)
      Thanks to Peter for sending in that wonderful link!
      Cheers everybody, Elaine

        G'day f_minor

        I was able to check the end credits of SotL and these clearly state that it is NOT GG but Jerry Zimmerman performing. So we busted another myth (if there ever was one)....

        I also just had a troll idea for a GG-themed movie. What about his last performance in L.A., seen from different perspectives by GG himself, the stage manager, a concert goer etc. Directed by the Cohen Brothers with a good buget and A-List actors. Probably won't be a howler at the box office, but could get critical acclaim. I can dream, can't I ?

        Hi all!

        do you believe that the performer of the Goldbergs in The Silence of the Lambs (J.Demme 1991) is Glenn Gould?

        download the SOTL excerpts below and (if you want) compare them with all the published 4 recordings of the GG Goldbergs

        http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?lis67w6jyzqp26p  (Aria)

        http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?izk3c6tzmoxx53e  (Variation n.7)

        there is a discussion about that also on wikitalk ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk%3AGlenn_Gould  )

        "I am intimately acquainted with both Gould recordings and with excerpt heard in SOTL - which is definitely not Gould. I believe the confusion arises from the SOTL novel, in which Hannibal Lecter is in a hotel room after his escape, listening to Gould play the Goldberg Variations. I imagine getting the rights for Gould's recording for the film would have been expensive, and it was probably cheaper to hire a pianist to play them.THD3 (talk) 18:04, 16 September 2009 (UTC)"

        I'm honestly a lot more shocked and p****off about how the GG money were used lately by the Toronto Humane Society against animals, than the fact that the Bach Goldbergs were used in a fictional psyco-thriller movie as a sort of  "God surrogate"...Anyway about movie soundtracks, average people do not even care to know the composer's name, so I'm afraid that this is not the way for GG to widen his admirers list. 
        Girard movie is of course a piece of art but imho the main actor was a wrong choice... Maybe only a very good bio-non-bio cult movie on him ? la "Amadeus"  with his music as the main character could do the trick....and Ralph Fiennes or Sam Rockwell coud be imho good actor choices to impersonate him...

        Best,
        Stefy

                                  Hi Michael and others,

                                  I haven't seen/listened to that particular CD yet but will check it out. 



                                  I was always uncomfortable with the idea of GG's name/music associated with the "Silence.." and "Hannibal" movies 'cause I don't think he would have wanted to be in such creepy things, none of which I've been able to watch completely through. I just can't stomach that kind of violent imagery. What does everyone else think?


                                  As for him being my fave pianist, when I heard his Bach Concerto 1 in D Minor with Bernstein I was hooked. I never tire of listening to his interpretations of Bach, Brahms, Byrd, Gibbons, and Sibelius (I've yet to hear all his Beethoven). It's the phrasing, tempo, and beautiful clarity of his playing that I find so mesmerizing. Who comes close, in their own way, since? I'm not that well versed in all this (help me out) but just from the radio I've heard some nice playing by Hewitt, Lortie and Ax.


                                  But maybe for us it'll aways be Glenn...think of that Carly Simon song "Nobody does it better..."


                                  Cheers, Elaine

                                    just an observation. recently i hopefully and expectantly listened to various 
                                    recordings.  good ones, i guess.  michelangeli"s lugano recital, (  a dvd ), 
                                    serkin's 80'th vienna recital, late beethoven, ( vhs ),  cortot's schumann, cd, 
                                    arrau's chopin grand fantasie on polish airs, and brendel's farewell recital in 
                                    hanover.     well,  frankly,  i felt , disappointed, and after a while,  that i 
                                    was just listening to another typical 3 rd year juilliard student's 
                                    recital.------------------------  then i put on , in desperation, the cd " gg at 
                                    the movies".    there was all the difference.  give it a listen. and maybe you 
                                    can explain it .

Hej,

It's already turned Sunday 26th where I am (memo to self: must vote before 11:00) but where a lot of you are it's still Glenn Gould's 78th birthday.

"Guess what happened to me today?"

Saturday evening September 25th "La Nuit des Musees", I attended a concert of chamber music played on instruments from the 19th century and a Paul McNulty fortepiano. After the concert I walked to my bus stop and found a man waiting there with a tuba case in tow. We spoke, as one will do, and to my utter astonishment it turned out that he is from Winnipeg and plays with The Salvation Army Band. Well you could have knocked me over with a feather. Far far away from Canada there he stood waiting for a bus - an unwitting recipient of Gould's posthumous largesse (I assume he receives some sort of salary). Of course I spoke to him of the Glenn Gould 50/50 "unfortunate people and unfortunate animals" last will and testament about which he knew nothing at all. Strange that. 

I listened to Haydn played on a fortepiano earlier this evening in a small room with parquet floor and wooden ceiling (an unfortunate honey bee happened to be trapped inside with us, flying from chandelier to chandelier) and the gorgeous perfume of wood wax-oil in my nostrils. I'm listening to Gould's Haydn The Six Last Sonatas now and there's no question that Haydn would have played this double lp over and over again and would have wanted more. I really wish there was more. 

We're always making plans for Glenn Gould.

Mary Jensen

Hi Mary and all!
It's still September 25th in the US and Canada as I write this  email and 
so with that let us celebrate the 78th anniversary of Glenn Gould's  birthday 
- I am listening to my favorite GG album featuring Sibelius!  Anyway,  here 
is an Amazon site with his picture 
_http://www.amazon.com/Grieg-Bizet-Sibelius-Piano-Works/dp/B0000028O3_

Hi Elaine Pat and others,
 
first of all today is 25th Sept. so "happy birthday Glenn!"  :)

Pat idea is surely interesting and I have too my own  (already written) 
plot that I'll probably disclose sometimes in the  future...
As for SOTL, Slaughterhouse 5 (and many others) it was the book  that 
inspired/generated the film so we can also hope in some good novelist as  well...
Anyway it will be without any doubt a difficult task for even the  best

Subject: [f_minor] GG and films


Hi everyone,  

Thanks for cluing me in on the SOTL, Hannibal etc. movies being  based on 
novels. "Duuhh!" from me. Here I was being steamed at J.  Demme and/or 
screenwriters bringing dear GG's name into the script (in  one or both of the 
films? I'm not sure and don't care to know at this  point). Not being a reader 
of that genre (and only seeing bits of the  films) I hadn't been aware of the 
origin of the story lines. However I  guess the author (Harris? sorry I did 
look it up but have forgotten  his complete name already) is quite highly 
esteemed apparently so I  say "a chaque un son gout" and hope that is spelled 
correctly. I am  fond of old Vincent Price movies but my appreciation for 
horror stops  there pretty much.

As for someone playing GG in a future film I hope it doesn't  happen, 
though sometimes I think David Duchovny looks a tad like Glenn  (but he's been in 
so many sex-themed shows let's not encourage it).  The "Thiry-two" film is 
lovely but it still isn't Gould. I vote for  cherishing his memory in the 
documentaries. I have a reissue of "On  and Off the Record" by the NFB which 
probably many of you have too  which has marvellous scenes of GG playing, 
walking about that old NY  studio hiking up his pants, shirttail hanging out, 
sqeaking his chair  to test how noisy it really gets (though I think they 
added some extra  loud fake squeaks in the editing process), chatting with 
Howard Scott  the producer and Don Hunstein the photographer etc. And he's so  
brilliant, handsome, riveting, funny. He's also in "The Golden Age of  the 
Piano", briefly; and I have "Hereafter" and "The Alchemist" by  Bruno 
Monsaingeon whose love and respect for Glenn shines through in  his films. (I hope I 
can soon get the other ones made by Bruno.)
Thanks to Peter for sending in that wonderful link!
Cheers everybody, Elaine

G'day f_minor

I was  able to check the end credits of SotL and these clearly state that  
it is NOT GG but Jerry Zimmerman performing. So we busted another  myth (if 
there ever was one)....

I also just had a troll idea  for a GG-themed movie. What about his last 
performance in L.A., seen  from different perspectives by GG himself, the 
stage manager, a  concert goer etc. Directed by the Cohen Brothers with a good 
buget  and A-List actors. Probably won't be a howler at the box office, but  
could get critical acclaim. I can dream, can't I  ?

Hi all!

do you believe that the  performer of the Goldbergs in The Silence of the 
Lambs (J.Demme  1991) is Glenn Gould?

download the SOTL excerpts below and  (if you want) compare them with all 
the published 4 recordings of  the GG Goldbergs

_http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?lis67w6jyzqp26p_ 
(http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?lis67w6jyzqp26p)    (Aria)

_http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?izk3c6tzmoxx53e_ 
(http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?izk3c6tzmoxx53e)    (Variation n.7)

there is a discussion about that also on  wikitalk ( 
_http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk%3AGlenn_Gould_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Glenn_Gould)  
  )

"I am intimately acquainted with both Gould recordings and  with excerpt 
heard in SOTL - which is definitely not Gould. I  believe the confusion arises 
from the SOTL novel, in which Hannibal  Lecter is in a hotel room after his 
escape, listening to Gould play  the Goldberg Variations. I imagine getting 
the rights for Gould's  recording for the film would have been expensive, 
and it was  probably cheaper to hire a pianist to play them.THD3 (talk) 
18:04,  16 September 2009 (UTC)"

I'm honestly a lot more shocked and  p****off about how the GG money were 
used lately by the Toronto  Humane Society against animals, than the fact 
that the Bach  Goldbergs were used in a fictional psyco-thriller movie as a 
sort  of  "God surrogate"...Anyway about movie soundtracks, average  people do 
not even care to know the composer's name, so I'm afraid  that this is not 
the way for GG to widen his admirers list.  
Girard movie is of course a piece of art but imho the main actor  was a 
wrong choice... Maybe only a very good bio-non-bio cult movie  on him ? la 
"Amadeus"  with his music as the main character  could do the trick....and Ralph 
Fiennes or Sam Rockwell coud be imho  good actor choices to impersonate  
him...

Best,
Stefy

Hi Michael and others,

I haven't seen/listened to that particular CD yet but  will check it out. 



I was  always uncomfortable with the idea of GG's name/music associated  
with the "Silence.." and "Hannibal" movies 'cause I don't think he  would have 
wanted to be in such creepy things, none of which I've  been able to watch 
completely through. I just can't stomach that  kind of violent imagery. What 
does everyone else  think?


As for him being my fave  pianist, when I heard his Bach Concerto 1 in D 
Minor with Bernstein  I was hooked. I never tire of listening to his 
interpretations of  Bach, Brahms, Byrd, Gibbons, and Sibelius (I've yet to hear all 
his  Beethoven). It's the phrasing, tempo, and beautiful clarity of his  
playing that I find so mesmerizing. Who comes close, in their own  way, since? 
I'm not that well versed in all this (help me out) but  just from the radio 
I've heard some nice playing by Hewitt, Lortie  and Ax.


But maybe for us it'll  aways be Glenn...think of that Carly Simon song 
"Nobody does it  better..."


Cheers,  Elaine

just an  observation. recently i hopefully and expectantly listened to  
various 
recordings.  good  ones, i guess.  michelangeli"s lugano recital, (  a dvd 
),  
serkin's 80'th vienna recital,  late beethoven, ( vhs ),  cortot's 
schumann, cd, 
arrau's chopin grand fantasie on polish  airs, and brendel's farewell 
recital in 
hanover.     well,   frankly,  i felt , disappointed, and after a while,  
that  i 
was just listening to another  typical 3 rd year juilliard student's 
recital.------------------------  then i put on ,  in desperation, the cd " 
gg at 
the movies".    there was all the difference.   give it a listen. and maybe 
you 
can explain it .

Thanks a lot Pat and Kath!

I was not early with my wishes: it was 16.21 italian time, 10.21 Toronto time...and I just celebrated too playing half Goldbergs and 3 Bach concertos :)

  Dear f_minor, Elaine, Stefy etc

  Sefy, I'm sorry but aren't you a bit early with your birthday wishes ? Anyways, your 3D image is absolutely awsome !

  Elaine, afaIk Thomas Harris wrote 3 novels about this Lecter bloke and GG has brief cameos in all of them being Lecter's favourite pianist. You haven't missed much if you haven't read them or seen the movies, the shock effect tends to wear off with time. There are definetly better page-turners out there.

  If you mean the other documentaries by Bruno (Montsagenon) then I must warn you about Hereafter. This "documentary" is basically romantic Hero Worshipping kitsch.  I must admit that it has some moments (list member myazawa-san gets to deliver a letter to a GG fan in Japan) and you will get to see a few previously unreleased clips. But this is not GG, this is how Monsieur Montsagenone thinks GG was or at least how he sees GG must be seen. In the movie he goes on at lennght on what a joy and privilege it was to work with GG, yadda yadda yadda. I found that pompous, the director of a documentary has nothing to do whatsoever in front of the camera. The scene with that girl getting a GB tatoo is pointless and doesn't illustrate anything and that other scene with the woman claiming that GG's music saved her life is just kitsch. Montsagenon sees GG as some kind of 19th century tragic hero like Byron, Shelley or Rimbaud and we all know that GG was quite the
 contrary. But do go ahe!
 ad and watch it, make up your own midn, this is just my opinion.

  Hold your breath for Genius Within. Based on the clips I have seen on youtube (before they were taken down), this is an interesting documentary, fun to watch and with a few surprises in store (i.e. The Foss Incident).  Let's hope for a 2 DVD set (the long TV version please) plus extras and extended interviews after the cinema run. I can dream, can't I ?

          Hi all!

          do you believe that the performer of the Goldbergs in The Silence of the Lambs (J.Demme 1991) is Glenn Gould?

          download the SOTL excerpts below and (if you want) compare them with all the published 4 recordings of the GG Goldbergs

          http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?lis67w6jyzqp26p  (Aria)

          http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?izk3c6tzmoxx53e  (Variation n.7)

          there is a discussion about that also on wikitalk ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk%3AGlenn_Gould  )

          "I am intimately acquainted with both Gould recordings and with excerpt heard in SOTL - which is definitely not Gould. I believe the confusion arises from the SOTL novel, in which Hannibal Lecter is in a hotel room after his escape, listening to Gould play the Goldberg Variations. I imagine getting the rights for Gould's recording for the film would have been expensive, and it was probably cheaper to hire a pianist to play them.THD3 (talk) 18:04, 16 September 2009 (UTC)"

          I'm honestly a lot more shocked and p****off about how the GG money were used lately by the Toronto Humane Society against animals, than the fact that the Bach Goldbergs were used in a fictional psyco-thriller movie as a sort of  "God surrogate"...Anyway about movie soundtracks, average people do not even care to know the composer's name, so I'm afraid that this is not the way for GG to widen his admirers list. 
          Girard movie is of course a piece of art but imho the main actor was a wrong choice... Maybe only a very good bio-non-bio cult movie on him ? la "Amadeus"  with his music as the main character could do the trick....and Ralph Fiennes or Sam Rockwell coud be imho good actor choices to impersonate him...

          Best,
          Stefy

                                    Hi Michael and others,

                                    I haven't seen/listened to that particular CD yet but will check it out. 



                                    I was always uncomfortable with the idea of GG's name/music associated with the "Silence.." and "Hannibal" movies 'cause I don't think he would have wanted to be in such creepy things, none of which I've been able to watch completely through. I just can't stomach that kind of violent imagery. What does everyone else think?


                                    As for him being my fave pianist, when I heard his Bach Concerto 1 in D Minor with Bernstein I was hooked. I never tire of listening to his interpretations of Bach, Brahms, Byrd, Gibbons, and Sibelius (I've yet to hear all his Beethoven). It's the phrasing, tempo, and beautiful clarity of his playing that I find so mesmerizing. Who comes close, in their own way, since? I'm not that well versed in all this (help me out) but just from the radio I've heard some nice playing by Hewitt, Lortie and Ax.


                                    But maybe for us it'll aways be Glenn...think of that Carly Simon song "Nobody does it better..."


                                    Cheers, Elaine

                                      just an observation. recently i hopefully and expectantly listened to various 
                                      recordings.  good ones, i guess.  michelangeli"s lugano recital, (  a dvd ), 
                                      serkin's 80'th vienna recital, late beethoven, ( vhs ),  cortot's schumann, cd, 
                                      arrau's chopin grand fantasie on polish airs, and brendel's farewell recital in 
                                      hanover.     well,  frankly,  i felt , disappointed, and after a while,  that i 
                                      was just listening to another typical 3 rd year juilliard student's 
                                      recital.------------------------  then i put on , in desperation, the cd " gg at 
                                      the movies".    there was all the difference.  give it a listen. and maybe you 
                                      can explain it .

          Mac users experiencing difficulties while trying to watch and listen to 
          these  wonderful clips  be advised that apparently the CBC has changed its 
          streaming format to Windows Media.
          This can be avoided by installing Flip4Mac right here

Hi Mary and all!
It's still September 25th in the US and Canada as I write  this email and 
so with that let us celebrate the 78th anniversary of Glenn  Gould's birthday 
- I am listening to my favorite GG album featuring  Sibelius! Anyway,  here 
is an Amazon site with his picture

Hej,

It's already turned  Sunday 26th where I am (memo to self: must vote before 
11:00) but where a  lot of you are it's still Glenn Gould's 78th birthday.

"Guess what happened  to me today?"

Saturday evening September 25th "La Nuit des Musees",  I attended a concert 
of chamber music played on instruments from the 19th  century and a Paul 
McNulty fortepiano. After the concert I walked to my bus  stop and found a man 
waiting there with a tuba case in tow. We spoke, as one  will do, and to my 
utter astonishment it turned out that he is from Winnipeg  and plays with 
The Salvation Army Band. Well you could have knocked me over  with a feather. 
Far far away from Canada there he stood waiting for a bus -  an unwitting 
recipient of Gould's posthumous largesse (I assume he receives  some sort of 
salary). Of course I spoke to him of the Glenn Gould 50/50  "unfortunate 
people and unfortunate animals" last will and testament about  which he knew 
nothing at all. Strange that. 

I listened to Haydn  played on a fortepiano earlier this evening in a small 
room with parquet  floor and wooden ceiling (an unfortunate honey bee 
happened to be trapped  inside with us, flying from chandelier to chandelier) and 
the gorgeous  perfume of wood wax-oil in my nostrils. I'm listening to 
Gould's Haydn The  Six Last Sonatas now and there's no question that Haydn would 
have played  this double lp over and over again and would have wanted more. 
I really wish there  was more. 

We're always making plans for Glenn Gould.

Mary Jensen
