Glenn Gould talks about Stravinsky, Schoenberg, and Soviet music

Glenn Gould's judgements on 'Firebird' and 'Le Sacre du Printemps,' variously, to my surprise, are precisely the same as my own. Who'd 'a' thunk it? It remains still true, of course, that I think his critical indulgence of Schoenberg and the noisome (pun intended) contrivance of dodecaphony to be quite mistaken--perhaps even slavish or cowardly (except that he himself performs the awful stuff probably better than anyone else in the world).
