WATANABE Shigeo 渡辺茂夫(1941~1999)
Violin prodigy, studying in the U.S., is dragged down by other students due to jealousy, and by a supervisor with a twisted personality, ruining his talent and his life.
Glenn Gould (1932-1982)
Prodigious pianist who played much Bach and Beethoven, also had an honorary doctorate in law from the University of Toronto. His interpretations often set him apart from other pianists, and Lily Krauss once told him, “You have so much talent, why don't you just play normally?
When Glenn Gould was not playing, he listened to the orchestra in a relaxing manner as if he were listening to a record in his living room! Nervousness and mis-touching were not words in his dictionary. The orchestra was just an extension of the strings on his piano - an absolute champion!
