The Aesthetic of Absence: An Homage to Glenn Gould






For Glenn Gould the Goldberg Variations “observe neither end nor beginning;
they are a music like Baudelaire’s lovers, ‘mollement balancés sur l’aile /
du tourbillon intelligent’”.
Glenn Gould, the transgressive though never irreverent innovator, overturned
the interpretative tradition that favoured philological performance to offer
his own highly personal and simply Gouldian reading; a pianist who ceased
performing live not for the caprice of a star, but because he wished to
entrust his idea of music to the precision of its recording.
Glenn Gould was born in Toronto on 25 September 1932. On 4 October 1982 a
stroke prematurely interrupted his life, and his ceaseless search gently
balanced upon the wings of the intelligent whirlwind.
On the eightieth anniversary of his birth, and 30 years after his death, the
Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia is dedicating two weeks of events to
this Canadian pianist (from 16 November to 2 December), retracing the
history of the man, the artist, the author, the experimenter. The project
intends to re-evoke one of the most original and polyhedral figures of the
20th century in all of his diverse expressions. 

The Events at the MAXXI:

22 November and 2 December, h 16.00
