Glenn Gould

Glenn Gould, renowned Canadian concert pianist, in New York--kidding the cab driver, bantering with sound engineers at Columbia Records; and then, alone with the piano, fastidiously recording Bach's Italian Concerto.

Canadian concert pianist Glenn Gould enjoys a respite at his lakeside cottage. It is an aspect of Gould previously known only to the collie pacing beside him through the woods, the fishermen resting their oars to hear his piano, and fellow musicians like Franz Kraemer, with whom Gould talks of composition.

Tous les dix ans, une nouvelle vedette populaire provoque des pâmoisons chez les adolescentes. Il y a eu la vague Sinatra, puis le raz-de-marée Elvis Presley. En 1961, c'est l'ouragan Anka. L'idole envoûte et ensorcelle des légions d'adolescentes incapables d'échapper à son charme tout-puissant. Les cinéastes de l'ONF ont braqué leur objectif sur ce chanteur canadien.
