Glenn Gould's music

I heard a wonderfully touching interview on CBC radio today about how Glenn Gould's music continues to inspire and affect people so many years after his death. One particular touching anecdote was given by John Roberts- the former director of the Glenn Gould foundation in Stratford, Ontario. When he was the director, he would get a request from various hospices and hospitals around the world, approximately once a month for recommendations of Glenn Gould's recordings to play for sick and dying people. One such call was from Paul McCartney who asked for recordings for a dying George Harrison.

I found this rather touching. Of all the musicians and/or music the former Beatles could ask for, George Harrison specifically requested Glenn Gould's recordings to soothe his sufferings.
