It's said that Glenn Gould had a low opinion of Bach's Italian Concerto. (He didn't care for Beethoven's Emperor either, and he seems to have been positively allergic to Mozart.) Still, there's lots to enjoy in this mesmerising fly-on-the-wall footage of the young Gould recording the final movement of the Italian and indulging in some spirited repartee with his producer. I assume it dates from the summer of '59, but Gould experts may be able to correct me on that.

Great link. Not a classical buff and while I've heard of Gould several times, my first encounter proper. Thanks for the intro
