Glenn Gould

Philosopher Mark Kingwell has taught aesthetic theory for ten years and knows how people struggle to articulate the way music works. He views Glenn Gould as a philosopher, someone who does his thinking with notes over time.

A supremely gifted artist and Canada’s most renowned classical musician of the 20th century, Glenn Herbert Gould (born Toronto Sept 25 1932; died Toronto Oct 4 1982) was a recording artist, radio and television broadcaster and producer, writer and an outspoken apologist for the electronic media.
