[therese salviat]

Hi,

do you know the incidental music for the Twelfth Night composed and performed by the young Glenn Gould ? The tape is at the CBC archives…

First of all “Glenn Gould” is still making money for Sony, otherwise they would not have invested a certain budget into these re-re-re-rereleases (ahem) and the Bach box set. Even 30 years after his untimely death I assume he is still in their A list of performers (at least in the classical section).

What will definetly be of interest are the GB55 outtakes and the DVDs. Apart from that I am allowed to have my doubts on this box set. Yet for Sony the risk of annoying those already in the know is rather minimal, they will still make money on this box with newcomers and Must-Have Collectors.

(still unconfirmed if it indeed is on the discs though) For a company like Sony it would be quite easy to make a search on Google with the keywords:"sony glenn gould edition" to render a link to a detailed description of the contents. But they have other ways of promoting the box apparently... Or?

It includes, among other things, for its time advanced multi-screen experiments with Gould playing a section from a 4-voiced fugue with one hand to each voice. The interview is also worth having.

As it is now you have to piece together the less than accurate listings at different on-line shops. Is that good business on Sony's part I wonder?

I am shocked, too, at the lack of eager reactions concerning the Mozart DVD. It is an absolute treasure. I cannot wait until it arrives in the mail from France. I unfortunately have no insight to offer into the lack of promotion on Sony's part. How might they advertise it? Where would one advertise Glenn Gould material?
