Next year will mark the 25th anniversary of Glenn Gould's death. I don't think we will ever have one quite like him. He's piano playing and gestures were, at times, odd and unusual, as if his world was not of this world, but the beauty of music he creates is such that one could only hope to belong in his realm.

I remember that whenever I thought I was at the end of my robe, at my wit's end, he was always there to lend his musical hand to pull me out. When I am "in" his music, all the worries and the impuries of mind wash away that one could only describe the experience as catharsis.
