格伦·古尔德,作为本世纪最具创造力的钢琴家之一,在他的生前和身后都被视为一个怪癖的天才,并不断掀起了大众对其狂热的崇拜,甚至成为巴赫的化身。尽管古尔德曾声明,巴赫的作品并不是他的最爱,然而他演奏的巴赫唱片却得到热卖,成为有史以来最为畅销的古典音乐唱片,成为演奏史上的瑰宝。他的人生历程被无数人描述,甚至拍成了电影,还没有任何一个演奏家在逝世30多年后仍能得到如此的关注。随着时代的演变,古尔德从一个钢琴天才变身成大众偶像。尽管已经有了无数关于古尔德的文章,但对于这样一个传奇,唯一能够让我们触碰的方式就是不断地对他进行重新书写。 Glenn Gould, as one of the most creative pianists of this century, was considered a quirky genius both before and after his death, and constantly aroused public fanatical cultism, even becoming Bach Incarnation. Although Gould has stated that Bach’s work is not his favorite, Bach’s recordings, however, have been sold out to become the best-selling classical music album ever made and become a treasure in the history of performance. His life has been described by countless people and even made into a movie, and no single performer has been so concerned more than 30 years after his death. With the evolution of the times, Gould turned from a piano genius into a popular idol. Although there have been numerous articles on Gould, the only way for such a legend to touch us is to continually re-write him.
