Glenn Gould plays Haydn, Gibbons, and Hindemith in a 1968 radio broadcast

Edited captions are available for this item. Select 'English', not 'English (auto-generated)'. 1968 12 26 radio broadcast: CBC Thursday Music. Producer: James Kent It has been a long wait, but we now have reasonable access to Gould's Columbia studio recordings, his television work, his writings, his radio documentaries, and many posthumous releases of live recordings and previously unreleased studio recordings. Only the radio broadcasts are neglected. Sony has the rights, but tends not to release anything that duplicates a studio recording. None of the commentary has ever been released, as far as I know. Here, on Boxing Day of 1968, we have Gould discussing and playing works of Haydn, Gibbons, and Hindemith. The Haydn sonata was recorded again in 1982: the tempos are similar, but GG takes more repeats in this earlier radio broadcast. The Gibbons Pavanne and Galliard were in Gould's repertoire as early as a 1956 radio broadcast. They were eventually recorded for Columbia and released in 1971. The Fantasia in C presented here is not the same item as the Fantasy in C on the LP, and so is a considerable rarity. (Canning's catalogue overlooks that these are different pieces, and if Sony had noticed, they might have released it, I suppose). The Hindemith Sonata was also recorded for Columbia in 1966. A quicker performance of the Fugue only was on the television in 1963. As usual, the 'interview' is scripted by GG. 0:00 Haydn Sonata 62 in Eb Hob.XVI/52 I Allegro 7:11 Haydn Sonata 62 in Eb Hob.XVI/52 II Adagio 13:38 Haydn Sonata 62 in Eb Hob.XVI/52 III Presto 18:30 Harry Freedman introduces GG and James Kent discussing Gibbons 20:22 Gibbons The Lord Of Salisbury His Pavin 27:18 GG and James Kent discussing Gibbons 28:28 Gibbons The Lord Of Salisbury The Galliard 30:09 GG and James Kent discussing Gibbons 30:50 Gibbons Italian Ground 33:04 GG and James Kent discussing Gibbons 34:02 Gibbons Fantasia in C 36:07 GG and James Kent discussing Hindemith.
