From the earliest years of his career, the distinguished Canadian pianist GLENN GOULD was fascinated with the possibilities afforded by radio, tape and the recording studio. From his Canadian Broadcasting Corporation radio broadcast debut on Christmas Eve, 1950, through the intricate radio documentaries of the 1960s and the 1970s, the CBC studios were a playground for his powers of invention.

Through almost a decade of international touring and public performances (1955-1964), Gould regularly played studio recitals, appeared with the CBC’s radio orchestras, and gave on-air interviews and talks on musical subjects.

Gould’s exit from the concert stage in 1964 released his full energy into the electronic media. Gould’s "portrait" of the distinguished English conductor, Leopold Stokowski (1882-1977) was recorded and produced in the CBC studios of the ‘old radio building’ at 354 Jarvis Street, Toronto, Ontario. It was first broadcast on the CBC AM programme CBC Tuesday Night on February 2, 1971; and the CBC FM programme Encore on February 16, 1971. The Pablo Casals (1876-1960) documentary was also recorded in the CBC Jarvis Street studios.

This fond tribute to the legendary Catalan cellist was first broadcast on the CBC AM programme CBC Tuesday Night on January 15, 1974; and the CBC FM programme Encore on January 17, 1974.
