| | | In this acclaimed biography, the late Peter Ostwald--himself an accomplished violinist and longtime personal friend of Gould's--raises many questions about Gould and his music, and lays bare the energy and contradiction behind his brilliance. Photos. NPR feature.
Annotation:
A biography of the famous American pianist, written by a psychiatrist and musician who knew Gould for the last 25 years of his life. Ostwald attempts to portray not only Gould's personality, but to convey a sense of the debilitating neuroses from which he suffered.
