Biggest thing on our minds 

(and our plate) this month 

i~ that we're going to have 

to change the Pulse name. 

See page 23 for an 

explanation and a chance-to 

benefit from our 

misfortune! 

But we also want to call 

your attention to a couple 

of innovations this month~· 

The first, MUSICTHEATRE, 

on page 8, is an attempt. to 

accommodate listings of a 

type that don't fit our daily 

calendar very well. 

The second, FIRST FIVE, 

is a direct response to the 

request in the following 

letter. 

YOU 

ASKED! 

I was just looking at your 

new WEB page yesterday 

and it looks neat! I like the 

little icon showing the 

construction "man-at-work" 

sign withthe little buddy 

going up and down with his 

shovel. Cute! 

I can see that PULSE is 

getting more popular, by the 

day. When I went to pick 

up my free copy of PULSE 

in December at the SHAR 

store, they were actually 

"sold out" .... We sure have 

to pick then\ up eaily now ... 

I have a sugges•tion for

you make each monthly

the month for the following 

month. For those picking up 

issues, they probably pick 

theirs a few days after, and 

there is a good chance they 

will be missing concert

was wondering whether you 

might consider printing 

concert listings for the first 

few days of the following

perhaps, indicating that the

SEEKING PERFECT SouND 7: Glenn Gould St 

(Q_ncert 

~es 

I 

. i 

I 

BY FRANK LOCKWOOD 

As a recording engineer/ 

producer for classical and 

acoustic music, I am 

constantly investigating halls 

and churches to assess their 

acoustical characteristics. I 

will be continuing to share 

some of what r find with you 

here in this ongoing series. 

When I first heard about the 

construction of the Glenn 

Gould Studio, back in the 

days when I was working for 

CBC Saskatchewan, I was 

intrigued. What kind of 

studio would the CBC be 

building in their flagship 

installation, and what 

technical and acoustic 

wonders would it house to 

justify its famous name? 

When I heard that it was 

going to be a concert hall, I 

was skeptical. Mter all, wasn't 

it Glenn Gould who 

pronounced the death of the 

concert hall in 1964? Also, as 

I well knew from my 

experience recording concerts 

for broadcast, doesn't the 

presence of a live audience 

. compromise the availability 

and flexibility of the 

microphone placement, as 

well as contributing a noise 

factor that severely 

compromises the quality of 

any concert recording? 

I had these questions on 

my mind when I spoke to 

Tom Shipton, the manager of 

the Gould studio, and 

someone who, some twenty 

years ago, had the 

opportunity to work with 

Glenn Gould as a music 

When I asked about the 

conceptual dissonance of 

naming a concert hall in 

Gould's honour, Tom pointed 

out the liberal use of Gould's 

When I heard that it 

was going to be a 

concert hall, I was 

skeptical. After all, 

wasn't it Glenn Gould 

who pronounce,d the 

death of the concert 

hall in 1964? 

favourite colour- Battleship 

Grey - throughout the hall. 

He also suggested that Gould 

would have conceded the 

necessity of a large space for 

the acoustical considerations 

of recording classical music, 

and would have been amused 

by the fact that that each seat 

is so designed that, when 

empty, it presents the same 

amount of acoustic 

absorption as if a human 

body were present - in 

essence, a roomful of people - 

with nobody there. 

Given the great pianist's 

fear of disease, and disdain of 

public exposure, this would 

have to be an optimal 

arrangement. 

First and foremost, it is a 

recording studio, and one 

that is designed primarily for 

making recordings of 

Classical Music. The control 

room ts on the stage 

at one st 

members, when present, have 

no doubt that a recording is 

taking place. Back when the 

huge CBC facility on Front 

Street was in the planning 

stages, the design team was 

originally requested to 

provide two concert halls, 

one seating 1000 people and 

the other seating 500. As 

time progressed, and the 

budget shrank, a compromise 

was reached for a single 340 

seat auditorium, with superb 

acoustics, absolute isolation 

from the noise of the 

building as well as the 

surrounding downtown area, 

and a state-of-the-art 

recording installation. 

Since it was built, the 

studio has had some very 

minor clranges in its design, 

namely the carpet running up 

the aisles to reduce the overall 

reverberance somewhat, and 

has seen some modification 

in the range of music 

presented and recorded. In 

addition to the many classical 

recordings made for 

broadcast, and for private 

users, the hall has played host 

to presentations of comedy, 

spoken word and jazz. The 

nature of the acoustic 

restricts the range of 

performances that can take 

place here -anything with a 

big P.A. and I or a loud drum 

kit is not suitable - and that 

is a condition that Tom 

Shipton sees as entirely 

satisfactory. "We purposely 

restricted the range of options

are forsaking, at least this 

once, the green and pleasant 

land of chamber baroque, 

taking instead to the slippery 

slopes of 20th century 

composition. Feb. 28 they 

present a programme of 

works by Canadian 

composer, Christopher 

Butterfield. 

Wary of tone clusters 

pastiche and atonal 

ditherings? Have no fear. 

New York Times reviewer 

Anna Kisselgoff advises, 

"Run, don't walk to see and

hear "Ursonate," a tour de 

force of a performance ... . 

Butterfield will be joined 

by his brother, Benjamin 

Butterfield, in his Five Songs · 

for 2 Tenors and Percussion. 

Les Coucous themselves will

Artistic Director: Vicki Slechta 

The 1996-97 season marks the 16th 

anniversary of Musica Viva & Friends. 

The core ensemble of flutist Vicki 

Slechta, cellist Grigory Goldberg and 

pianist Cecilia lgnatieff presented their 

first recital at the Royal Conservatory 

Concert Hall in December 1980. For 

several years they performed as a trio 

and commissioned two works for this 

combination. The ensemble has grown 

to include oboist Senia Trubashnik and 

mezzo soprano Michele Gaudreau. 

With these "friends" and producer Srul 

Irving Glick they have released their 

first CD, Entre Nous in November 

1995. Clyde Gilmour referred to the 

ensemble on CBC Radio as "one of 

Canada's most accomplished and 

versatile chamber ensembles" and Bob 

Kerr introduced the disc as "absolutely 

charming ... just plain beautiful 20th 

century music." Musica Viva will give 

its last Toronto performance of the 

season at the Glenn Gould Studio on

* Guess what. We blew it. Inadvertently, but 

nevertheless. Unintentionally, but comprehensively! 

. I 

Pulse, our lovely name, belongs to someone else. It's a 

registered trademark of the u.s. parent company of Tower 

Records at Queen and Yonge. 

We didn't know when 'we started, but we do know now, 

so, sadly we will have to let go. The owner of the 

name has generously given us three months to make 

the switch to something else. 

SO WE'VE DECIDED TO MAKE 

SOME FUN OUT OF OUR MISFORTUNE. 

Here's the idea. 

You write to us NO LATER THAN MARCH 15 with suggestions 

for new names (or acceptable variations on the old one). 

Writers of _the five most entertaining and/or 

useful letters each receive one top-price ticket 

to R.S.V.P. BROADWAY, opening at the Winter 

Garden Theatre on February 22. 

A bit of fun --- and more important, we get some real help 

from the people whose opinion counts the most here: our 

readers. 

Soit's over to you! What does our new name need to say?

Pulse is available at • all public libraries in Nortl. Y orlc, Y orlc, East Y orlc, and Etobicolce;
