Gould’s first recording, was among the best-selling classical music albums of its time. Gould is also
famous for his unusual behavior. He would only play concerts while sitting on an old chair his father
had made, and he usually hummed while he played. Contrary to most pianists, he disliked playing in
concert halls, and devoted most of his career to the recording studio until his death in 1982. In brief,
Glenn Gould was an unconventional pianist who made a significant impact on the world of music.
