In May of 1957, only four years after the death of Stalin and in the depths of the Cold War, Canadian piano virtuoso Glenn Gould was the first North American musician to perform in Soviet Russia. We will hear background on his Russian tour and listen to the Leningrad recording of Johann Sebastian Bach's Concerto for Piano (BWV 1052) as well as other pieces.
