Glenn Gould est mort le 4 octobre 1982, il y a vingt-cinq ans. Il venait d'enregistrer une deuxième version des Variations Goldberg de Bach, l'œuvre qui l'avait fait connaître. Il n'avait que cinquante ans. Toute sa vie fut consacrée à son art, son choix fut celui d'une existence dans laquelle le renoncement à la vie devient la condition même de l'art. Tous ceux qui admirent cet art veulent s'approcher de la forme de vie qui l'a rendue possible, ils veulent en comprendre l'éthique particulière, la joie autant que le dépouillement. Ils souhaitent aussi s'approcher de cette esthétique de l'extase, dont il avait fait le principe de son engagement. Dans cet essai, je m'interroge sur le sens de cet émerveillement et de cette souveraineté de la vie dans l'art, et aussi sur les limites qui en découpent l'expérience. Dans son retrait comme dans son effort infini de communiquer, Glenn Gould offre l'exemple de cet idéal du « devenir philosophe » dont il avait fait, reprenant la formule à David Thoreau, le modèle de liberté des solitaires.

Recordings are now the primary way we hear classical music, especially the more abstract styles of "absolute" instrumental music. In this original, provocative book, Arved Ashby argues that recording technology has transformed our understanding of art music. Contesting the laments of nostalgic critics, Ashby sees recordings as socially progressive and instruments of a musical vernacular, but also finds that recording and absolute music actually involve similar notions of removing sound from context. He takes stock of technology's impact on classical music, addressing the questions at the heart of the issue. This erudite yet concise study reveals how mechanical reproduction has transformed classical musical culture and the very act of listening, breaking down aesthetic and generational barriers and mixing classical music into the soundtrack of everyday life.
