Thanks to Lehman for the post about Gould and Stokowsky.

They were meeting in 1957 during the Glenn Gould's tour in Germany.

The 1966 recording of 5th Beethoven's concert was famous for the perfect

feeling between these two musicians who worked together with satisfaction.

In the year 1970 Stokowsky, your life and your age were celebrated by Gould

in a touched portrait for CBC Radio ( published in CD by the "Glenn Gould

Foundation" only for the Society "Friend's of Glenn Gould" )

In the year 1978 Gould wrote one wide article/ portrait about Stokowsky in

"The New York Times" ( published in "The Glenn Gould Reader").

Their relationship was a good experience in Gould's life.

Best regards
