MAXXI’s Collection of Art and Architecture represents the founding element of the museum and defines its identity. Since October 2015, it has been on display with different arrangements of works.
For Glenn Gould the Goldberg Variations “observe neither end nor beginning; they are a music like Baudelaire’s lovers, ‘mollement balancés sur l’aile / du tourbillon intelligent’”.
Glenn Gould, the transgressive though never irreverent innovator, overturned the interpretative tradition that favoured philological performance to offer his own highly personal and simply Gouldian reading; a pianist who ceased performing live not for the caprice of a star, but because he wished to entrust his idea of music to the precision of its recording.
Glenn Gould was born in Toronto on 25 September 1932. On 4 October 1982 a stroke prematurely interrupted his life, and his ceaseless search gently balanced upon the wings of the intelligent whirlwind.
On the eightieth anniversary of his birth, and 30 years after his death, the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia is dedicating two weeks of events to this Canadian pianist (from 16 November to 2 December), retracing the history of the man, the artist, the author, the experimenter. The project intends to re-evoke one of the most original and polyhedral figures of the 20th century in all of his diverse expressions.
The Events at the MAXXI:
22 November and 2 December, h 16.00
PERFORMANCE/ The Art of the Fugue – “I live by long distance”
Entrance permitted to those with a ticket to the Museum
