"I prefer music that brings people together rather than politics that divides them…" This sentence could have sounded a bit cliché in the mouth of another, but in that of Kurt Masur, it took on a very concrete meaning, he who declined the offer made to him to play a political role in the construction of a reunified Germany… Born on July 18, 1927 in Brieg in Upper Silesia (today Brzeg in Poland but then German territory), Kurt Masur very young in Hitler's army. One of the 27 survivors of his company of 130 men, he enrolled at the Musikhochschule in Leipzig at the end of the war to study music. The direction is in fact not the first choice of the young Masur. Suffering from a genetic disease contracting the tendons of his fingers, he knew very early that a career as a pianist was not within his reach. This did not prevent him, after the war, from playing jazz (his great passion!), in clubs… In 1948, this fan of Furtwängler and Walter became chief rehearsal then conductor at the Théâtre de Hall. He continues as kappelmeister of the operas of Erfurt and Leipzig.

The Canadian Glenn Gould (born in Toronto 25 September 1932 - died there 4 October 1982) was without doubt one of the most important pianists of all time. Even today, the idiosyncratic interpretations and the eccentric personality of the "James Dean of the piano" exert a continuing fascination.

The History of Mercury Living Presence
The year was 1950. The record industry was recovering from the 'battle of the speeds', which pitted RCA Victor, with its 45-rpm disc, against Columbia Records, inventor of the microgroove long-playing record. (The 78-rpm shellac disc had just suffered a swift demise.) In the aftermath of the protracted struggle, the unexpected happened. Both sides won: the 45-rpm became the preferred speed for popular music at the time and the LP was adopted as the industry standard for classics and other 'long-playing' programs.
