Year of Glenn Gould - 2nd commemorative event
“Keiichiro Hirano: The Fascinating Glenn Gould” - Lecture with viewing of J.S. Bach: Goldberg Variations DVD （J）
■ Thursday, November 29
Embassy of Canada Oscar Peterson Theatre
 The extraordinary genius/pianist Glenn Gould was born in Toronto on September 25, 1932 and died there October 4, 1982. With 2007 marking the 75th anniversary of his birth and the 25th anniversary of his death, it is the “Year of Glenn Gould”. For the Canadian Embassy's second commemorative lecture event, Akutagawa Prize-winning author and music expert Keiichiro Hirano will explain Gould's never-to-be-forgotten musical accomplishments from his unique perspective. He was the passionate supervisor of Sony Classical's special edition Gould CDs, the newest and best Gould recordings, that were released October 3. Hirano selected the works, wrote the liner notes, and attended the mastering sessions. His lecture (in Japanese) promises to shed new light on the uniqueness and profound appeal of Glenn Gould, a musician in whom interest only continues to grow.
