""Presented on DVD for the very first time, this unique film in four parts presents Glenn Gould both in performance and interviews with Bruno Monsaingeon. Filmed in 1974, it gives us a rare opportunity to see Gould performing some ten years after his retreat from the concert platform. The material has been lovingly restored, using the finest state-of-the-art technology, and includes a fascinating bonus filmed in the 1950s."--Conteneur."
"Bruno Monsaingeon made this television film about Glenn Gould in 1974, when the pianist had been in self-imposed exile from the concert platform for more than a decade. Filmed in Toronto, it is a sometimes contrived mixture of interview and performance: part documentary, part feature. It gives Gould the opportunity to expound many of his pet theories, some more convincing than others, and more importantly to play the piano, which he did as well as anyone in the last century. The music spans his hugely various repertoire, from Orlando Gibbons and Byrd through the inevitable Bach (an English Suite and the Sixth Partita) to Wagner, Scriabin and the Second Viennese School. Sometimes the results are infuriating, but more often they are uniquely compelling."

"Pour le plus grand bonheur des mélomanes, voici enfin en DVD le remarquable film de Bruno Monsaigeon sur et avec Glenn Gould. Ce splendide document est l'occasion d'une véritable découverte de la personnalité atypique de cette figure inoubliable de la musique classique. En effet, chacune des oeuvres abordée fait l'objet d'une assez longue discussion entre l'artiste et le producteur, allant explorer le cheminement intellectuel du pianiste. En bonus, un petit film tout à fait captivant sur les essais d'instruments par Glenn Gould."
"Enthält Klavierwerke von Johann Sebastian Bach, sowie Werke von Gibbons, Wagner, Byrd, Webern, Berg, Scriabin und Schönberg, ausserdem Interviews mit Glenn Gould und weiteres visuelles Quellenmaterial."
