SUGGESTED HOST INTRO

Twenty-eight* years after his death, pianist Glenn Gould remains one of the most highly respected performers the classical music world has ever known.  He was not without his quirks – like wearing a heavy winter coat in the middle of the New York summer.  Oddities aside, one of his career highpoints was the Bach recordings he made with violinist and violist Jaime (JAY-me) Laredo.



Jaime Laredo Clip:

“These recordings that we did, I don’t think there was ever a time when I heard him play a wrong note.  I mean he just, it just wasn’t possible for him.  He did not play wrong notes.  And I swear I thought to myself, this is like, you know it sounded like six people playing and the way he could get around the instrument; it was just, it was mindboggling.  It really was.”



SUGGESTED HOST OUTRO

Violinist and violist Jaime (JAY-me) Laredo made history when he teamed up with pianist Glenn Gould to record chamber music by Bach.  (Introduce music title.)


*died 1982
