Quite extraordinary to listen to this. Very rare, indeed and an insight into the esoteric life of the great man. It might seem that he cannot spare the time to call in the tuner or may simply be that he cannot find one good enough to satisfy his level of intonation. A must listen.

@@wehaveasituation No. actually, it's really the piano. He's playing on the old Chickering in the family's lakeside cottage. It was subjected to extreme temperature variations - when he was there the heat was turned up very high, when he wasn't, it was set much lower. And the cottage was a one and a half hour's drive from Toronto, so the tuner didn't visit often. He loved the piano for its very sensitive action and its somewhat harpsichord-like tone. And he had grown up with the instrument, which was certainly part of the attraction. He seemed able to shut his ears to the out-of-tuneness.

G. Belli), forse a causa della nostra, chiamiamola, incomprensione?

It sounds almost exactly like rehearsal pianos for morning class at the Vaganova Academy or the Mariinsky or Bolshoi!

Glenn had a cabin far out in the woods for retreat (not his main cottage home) in Canada. In it there was a piano. it's unlikely that a tuner would have traveled there to tune it if maybe once a year if at all. And a piano in such a cabin only inhabited a few weeks per per year wouldn't be easy to keep in tune. That is probably where this was recorded.

Glenn Gould had autotune in his brain. And if _you_ don't, sucks to be you. As far as I can tell, this is what the vast majority of modern pop musicians sound like before autotune. Pitch is no longer artistic, it's just a production value, like colour in modern film, after post-production waves its magic wand.

This was Gould's favourite piano, a Chickering. One time when he had it tuned/regulated, he was unhappy with what was done to it, so he never let anyone touch it again. I've read extensively about Gould (nerd) and basically he didn't listen to what he was playing, he was focused on the tactile sensation and the music as it sounded in his head. Hope that explains it a little.
