Glenn Gould, the celebrated Canadian pianist, talks and plays to Humphrey Burton. The theme of the programme is: The concert hall is dead; long live recordings! From 1966.
The launch of BBC Two in 1964 led to an explosion in coverage of music and arts on television. Humphrey Burton was at the centre, running the department and becoming a familiar face to audiences.
In this programme, first broadcast in 1966, Glenn Gould, the celebrated but idiosyncratic Canadian pianist, talks and plays to Burton. Gould explains why he decided to shun live performance and dedicate his time to the recording studio.
