Cornelia Foss - Painting, Music and the Love of Glenn Gould, Pt. 1

In a compelling episode of the Gould Standard podcast, listeners are treated to an intimate conversation with American painter Cornelia Foss alongside her children, Christopher and Eliza. Delving into the rich tapestry of their family history from Europe to Hollywood to New York, and the life and career of Cornelia’s husband, the great American composer and conductor, Lukas Foss, the trio shares poignant insights into their lives intertwined with art and music.  This two-part conversation also includes reminiscences of Cornelia’s almost 5-year love affair with Glenn Gould, which saw her and the children moving to Toronto to be with Gould. A rare and poignant account of a relationship that offers unique insights into the great pianist’s life and personality, from three first-hand, very personal perspectives.   Cornelia Foss: Official Website X   Christopher Foss: Official Website   Eliza Foss: IMDb   The Glenn Gould Foundation: Official GGF Website Instagram YouTube Channel Facebook X LinkedIn
