註釋(Amadeus). Three decades after Gould's passing at the age of 50, the world's fascination with this remarkable Canadian pianist and public intellectual remains undiminished. Indeed, in the years since his sudden death, on October 4, 1982, he has been the subject of countless books, articles, documentaries, and other presentations. His life and art have been thoroughly examined, analyzed, and interpreted, in many ways. Among the remarkable attractions to Glenn Gould is that he holds an almost mythical status in the zeitgeist of Canadian arts and letters, somewhat like Tom Thomson and Grey Owl, and that he captures the imaginations of all who encounter his music and life story. The interviews conducted by Colin Eatock underscore this phenomenon, and through them he assesses Gould's rightful place in the bigger picture of Canada's cultural heritage.
