"In searching for a manner in which CBC Radio 2 could pay tribute
to pianist Glenn Gould on what would have been his 75th birthday
(September 25, 2007), I was reminded of the means by which
composers throughout history have honoured the memory of Johann
Sebastian Bach - the composer most associated with Glenn Gould.
Composers from Robert Schumann, Franz Liszt and Max Reger to Hanns
Eisler, Walter Piston and Nino Rota have all celebrated BachÆs
genius with works based upon the letters of his name: B-A-C-H
(Note: in German, B = B flat; and H = B natural.)
In this spirit, CBC Radio 2 commissioned eleven composers, from
coast to coast, each to write a prelude and fugue for piano based
upon the available letters in Glenn Gould's name (G-E-G-D). I
think that you will be pleasantly surprised by the range and
diversity of approaches that our composers have taken in realizing
their individual commissions.
The title for this festive feast of fugal fecundity is taken from
one of Glenn Gould's own compositions: a light-hearted
conversation piece in which Gould asks, incredulously, "So You
Want to Write a Fugue?" This work, scored for four solo voices
(SATB) and string quartet, was composed in 1963 for a CBC
television programme called The Anatomy of the Fugue."
- Neil Crory, Senior Music Producer, CBC Radio 2
"...few would have predicted the sheer beauty of most of the 17
pieces...this has to be the most exciting disc of new Canadian
music in years. It overflows with invention, and most compositions
find that elusive balance between being easy on the ears and being
thought-provoking...There are no duds on this magnificently potent
tribute to Gould's legacy."
- John Terauds, Toronto Star
"The creativity on this disk is astonishing for the variety of
treatments of a single subject. The musicians are of the highest
possible level."
- Stanley Fefferman, Showtime Magazine
"The 12 composers are consistently playful and inventive...I
enjoyed the whole program pretty much from start to finish."
- Mark Lehman, American Record Guide
