Glenn Gould 1990

The Places of Glenn Gould was commissioned by DU Die Zeitschrift der Kultur, a Swiss publication that dedicated an entire issue to Gould, eight years after his untimely death.  These photographs explore the places that were inhabited and frequented by Gould over his lifetime. The images presented here offer a glimpse into the life of a man who has been described as a genius, an outsider and an eccentric. Gould, who died just a few days after his 50th birthday in 1982, left behind a rich legacy as a musician, writer and media producer.  The YEAR OF GLENN GOULD begins on September 25th, 2007 marking the anniversaries of Gould’s birth, first concert in Moscow and premature death.  For additional information see:  Glenn Gould Foundation
