Definitively my Lovemark
There is no better way to stay at home relaxing after a working day and listen Glenn Gould's music. His music and his way of life create a great fantastic legend on the music world! When I read Glenn Gould, I feel at home. This is definitively my Lovemark, just thinking that I paid more than 1,000 dollars to buy his best companion, the official replica of Glenn Gould's chair!!! Is it enough to demonstrate my love for this brand?

Artist and Interpreter
Amazing Glenn Gould! To me Bach and Glenn Gould are inseperable, and I don't think any time soon we'll have another Artist and Interpreter like him. Thanks to the advanced audio technology, Bach and Glenn Gould are already at home. Anytime.

A spiritual epiphany
Obsessed with Bach from an early age, Glenn Gould with all his famous and infamous nocturnal eccentricities gave his life for that which was music. He was forced by his demons not to perform publicly thus bringing the technology of his terpsichore to the fore. In his photo, he is bent towards the keyboard almost as if in an act of worship. For Gould the notes were a spiritual epiphany. Eccentric to the core of his being and with hands he sometimes covered with mittens because of it he once said after playing one of the the Rachmaninoff concertos for piano in public "Not for me". Those here in Toronto who have been to the Glenn Gould studio feel his presence. Those who have heard him play on that piano can hear the energy of the music long after it has ceased. Glenn Gould is my Lovemark because it was like he was with his idiosyncratic approach to what he did so exceptionally narrating with his didactic approach a beautiful story to us and suddenly pehaps much too early he fell asleep. Repose in justice Glenn wherever you are.

Cult icon, pianist extraordinaire
Arguably the most important thinking musician of the 20th century, Glenn Gould established the perfect interaction between the Art of Music and the prospects of technology in the contemporary and future times. Cult icon, pianist extraordinaire, media philosopher and a broadcaster with incredible humor and sensitivity he brought greatness to the life of legions.
