Glenn Gould plays Bach (Motion picture)

"Glenn Gould's first recordings of Bach's Goldberg Variations in 1955 had made his name legendary. This film, shot in New York in April and May 1981, marks his life-- as if interpolated between the two peaceful Arias and the two recordings, the one opening, the other closing his career-- with a symbol of cyclic perfection."--Container.
