Book Description
Foreword by Yo-Yo Ma
Introduction by Tim Page
“Glenn Gould was blessed with a multitude of gifts, but longevity was not among them. And yet . . . he has, in some profound and personal way, transcended time, for he remains a vital -- indeed essential -- musical presence all these years later, in some ways more central to our experience now than when he was alive.” -- Tim Page, from the Introduction
Glenn Gould (1932-1982) burst onto the world stage with his inspired 1955 recording of Bach’s Goldberg Variations. His dynamic virtuosity and passionate artistry inspired millions, and he spent the next nine years as a star on the international concert circuit. In 1964, he announced that he was retiring from live performance, and devoted the rest of his life to recordings and documentaries.
Glenn Gould: A Life in Pictures is the first photographic treatment of the life of one of the greatest and most fascinating musicians of all time. This collection of more than 200 images includes a treasure trove of family pictures from the Glenn Gould Estate, most of which have never before been published, and rare photos from the CBC Archives, Sony Classical, and the National Archives of Canada.
A Life in Pictures celebrates the seventieth anniversary of Gould’s birth. The Foreword by Yo-Yo Ma and the Introduction by music critic Tim Page provide an insightful overview of Gould’s life and art. Extensive captions by the Estate’s literary advisor, Malcolm Lester, and quotes from Gould himself and other luminaries such as Leonard Bernstein, Yehudi Menuhin, Leopold Stokowski, and Leonard Rose appear throughout the book. The result is a lively portrait of a unique creative genius.
“Gould’s mind was a brilliant and shimmering prism through which sounds, senses and ideas were magically transfigured. As a teenager hearing his 1955 CBS recording of the Bach Goldberg Variations for the first time, I experienced a musical epiphany that would fuel my musical thinking for years to come. His recordings were a touchstone during those early years. . . ."
-- Yo-Yo Ma, from the Foreword

这本书的封面就足够吸引人——一幅标志性的格伦·古尔德照片,他那标志性的坐姿,双手交叠,眼中闪烁着某种难以捉摸的光芒。我一直对这位音乐家充满好奇,不仅仅是因为他那超凡脱俗的演奏技巧,更是因为他那与众不同的生活方式。我一直希望能有一本能够深入了解他这个人,而不仅仅是他的音乐的书。这本书似乎正是为此而生,它承诺用“图片”来讲述古尔德的人生,这让我非常期待。我希望它能不仅仅是罗列一些照片,而是通过这些照片,辅以文字,展现古尔德各个时期的生活片段,他的成长,他的思考,他的挣扎,甚至是他那些不为人知的怪癖。我尤其希望这本书能捕捉到他在录音室里的身影,那是他音乐生命最重要的组成部分,我想看看他在那个密闭的空间里是如何与音乐融为一体的。同时,我也期待它能展示他与家人、朋友的互动,虽然他以孤僻著称,但每个人都有自己的生活圈子,了解这些或许能帮助我们更全面地理解他的性格。这本书如果能像一本精心制作的相册,每一张照片背后都承载着一个故事,那将是无与伦比的体验。我希望它能够让我感受到时间在他身上流淌的痕迹,从一个充满活力的年轻人到一个更成熟、更内省的艺术家,这一切都通过视觉的方式呈现出来。
评分我一直认为,最能打动人心的故事,往往是那些用画面叙述的故事。格伦·古尔德,这位音乐史上的传奇人物,他的音乐本身就充满了画面感,那是一种超越声音的想象力。而这本书,《Glenn Gould: A Life in Pictures》,我仅仅是看到书名,就勾勒出了无数的可能性。我期待着,它能够为我打开一扇通往他生命深处的窗户,让我用眼睛去“听”他的故事。我希望这本书能捕捉到他与众不同的精神气质,那种在镜头前不羁又内敛,在音乐中狂放又克制的矛盾体。我希望通过这些图片,我能看到他生活中的一些“非典型”瞬间,那些可能不被主流传记所记载的,却能深刻反映他个性的片段。比如,他是否有过童年玩耍的照片?他与父母的温馨时刻?甚至是他一些随性的生活片段。我希望这本书不仅仅是关于他的职业生涯,更是关于他作为一个“人”的完整图景。我渴望那些能够引发我内心深处共鸣的画面,让我感受到他作为一个艺术家,同时也是一个凡人的复杂性。
评分老实说,我对格伦·古尔德的音乐已经相当熟悉,但对于他这个人,总觉得隔着一层迷雾。每次听到他的巴赫,我都会被那种清晰、那种理性、那种近乎几何学的完美所折服,但与此同时,我也能感受到其中蕴含的巨大情感能量,这种矛盾一直让我着迷。我拿起这本书,纯粹是想通过“图片”这个媒介,试图穿透他性格的复杂性和他生活中的神秘感。我希望这本书能够提供一些我从未见过的、关于古尔德日常生活细节的视觉线索。比如,他日常所处的环境是怎样的?他的书房,他的起居室,甚至他旅行时的身影,这些“私人”的画面,往往比公开的演出照片更能揭示一个人的真实状态。我非常期待这本书能展现他生活中那些不为人知的、或许有些古怪的习惯,因为正是这些细节,构成了我们所说的“一个人”。我希望能看到他年轻时的样子,以及随着年龄增长,他的神情和姿态如何变化。我希望这本书不会过于学院派,而是能够以一种更贴近普通读者的视角,让我们感受到一个鲜活的、有血有肉的格伦·古尔德。
评分我一直觉得,很多关于音乐家的传记,在文字的堆砌上往往会流于形式,而忽略了更直观、更生动的叙述方式。我对于“A Life in Pictures”这个副标题充满了期待,因为它暗示了一种不同寻常的叙事角度。我想象着,当翻开这本书时,映入眼帘的不仅仅是冰冷的文字,而是一幅幅凝固的时光,它们如同窗口,让我窥探到格伦·古尔德真实的生活轨迹。我希望这本书能超越简单的肖像展示,它应该是一系列精心挑选的、能够反映古尔德生活哲学和艺术追求的视觉证据。例如,那些关于他独特演奏姿势的照片,是否能通过角度和光影,让我们感受到他如何沉浸在音乐的宇宙中?那些他独处时的照片,是否能捕捉到他内心深处的思考和孤独?而关于他与他那台标志性钢琴的互动,更是我迫切想要看到的。我希望这本书能够呈现他每一个关键的人生节点,从早期的少年天才到后来的隐退,用视觉的语言讲述他的心路历程。更重要的是,我希望这些图片能够唤起我内心深处对古尔德音乐的共鸣,让我在看到他的容貌时,更能体会到他音乐中那种纯粹、那种深刻。
评分这本书的标题本身就极具吸引力——“格伦·古尔德:图片中的一生”。我一直对格伦·古尔德这个人有着浓厚的兴趣,不仅仅是他的钢琴演奏,更是他那独特的人生哲学和生活方式。我一直认为,有时候,图片比文字更能直观地展现一个人的内心世界和生活轨迹。我希望这本书能够通过一系列精心挑选的照片,带领我走进古尔德的真实生活。我期待它能展现他不同时期、不同场合下的样子,从他少年时的青涩,到他艺术生涯的巅峰,再到他隐退后的状态,用视觉的方式记录下他生命的每一个重要节点。我特别希望能够看到一些他生活中的细节,比如他的书桌、他的房间,甚至是他日常的穿着打扮,这些看似微小的元素,往往能够折射出一个人丰富的内心世界。我希望这本书能够捕捉到他那些不为人知的、或者说是不被大众所熟知的瞬间,让我在看到他的容貌时,能够更深刻地理解他音乐中那种特立独行的精神。这本书如果能让我感觉到,仿佛亲身经历了他的生命旅程,那将是对我而言最好的评价。
