Eileen Joyce , rec.1941

In conversation with Bruno Monsaingeon ("Of Mozart and related matters", 1976), Glenn Gould had this to say about Eileen Joyce and K.576

B.M.: But did you not hear any great pianists in your youth who inspired you with their Mozart playing?

G.G.: Well, "inspire" is not a word that I can relate to Mozart, Bruno, but if you substitute "impress" I can think immediately of Casadesus and some of the beautiful 78-r.p.m. concerto records he made - with the Paris Conservatoire Orchestra, wasn't it?

B.M.: I believe so, yes.

G.G.: Also - and this may surprise you - Eileen Joyce.

B.M.: I don't know her playing at all

G.G.: Well, she played Mozart with real devotion. Even I could recognize that, though I couldn't figure out whence it came. It's funny, too, because I heard her very old recording - late thirties or forties - of K.576 just a few weeks ago on the radio, for the first time in perhaps twenty years, and it made me think once again what an extraordinary pianist she really was.
