Summary: 5 Stars
You love classical music, piano concerts, or Glenn Gould, this one is for you.
Mr. Gould's life and times have been portrayed many times in very good to excellent books, choices abound.
But here the author takes a very interesting perspective, as this is Gould's quest for the one perfect instrument, that he eventually finds, and to tell that story the author introduces many different and delightful people related to Gould and to his pianos.
One great book not to miss !
