George Sand - A Winter in Majorca












A winter in Majorca? What could be more romantic? To escape northern Europe with your lover – a famous composer – and seek solace in the mountains, vineyards and citrus groves of one of the most beautiful islands in the Mediterranean.

Glenn Gould, The Alchemist










Glenn GouldThe Alchemist. Bruno Monsaingeon (1974) - YouTube


Everything about Glenn Gould is full of meaning since he gives meaning to everything. In this film “The Alchemist”, we see him in several recording sessions in Toronto in 1974. At that time, for European connoisseurs the pianist, who lives in Toronto, is nothing but a distant legend. He stopped playing in concert at thirty-two, ten years previously, and his records are unobtainable in France. Monsaingeon, discovers him in 1966 when he buys a record in Moscow on which is written “Bach Inventions” and the name of the pianist which sounds vaguely familiar to him. It’s a revelation!

The Alchemist, the second part of Monsaingeon’s film, shows Glenn Gould hard at work recording; sparkling with intelligence and with an acute sense of self-mockery, he talks about his relations with the studio and his rejection of the concert, he evokes his fondness for technique which leads him to editing his own records. He does this while juggling between his piano, the editing and mixing tables and even between microphones.
“Recording is the only way I can play music for the public”. (Glenn Gould)
