GG: Wagner?

["B.Rulla" <brulla@pop2.tky.3web.ne.jp>]

Hello,

my name is Bernhard Rulla, German and admirer of Glenn Gould's piano 
art.

I recently have bought an interesting CD, where Gould plays some 
piano versions of Wagner music, e.g. the ouverture to "Die 
Meistersinger". It was quite an experience, I can tell you! :)

The performance gave me the impression of the surgical operation of 
the music in tiny pieces. It fell apart, there was nothing left than 
absolutely independent melodies. A very new Wagner for me!

In would like to ask you if someone could tell my some sources 
concerning the attitude of Gould towards Wagner and maybe also some 
personal impressions of the Gould/Wagner interpretation...

I am looking forward to a very interesting and instructive 
conversation with you!

Yours truly,
Bernhard Rulla.
