Beside a sculpture of Glenn Gould in front of Glenn Gould Studio, a part of the Canadian Broadcasting Centre on Front Street West, just east of John Street, can be seen this Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada plaque. Here's what it says:

Recognized internationally as one of the great classical musicians of the 20th century, this pianist of prodigious talent and originality is best known for his masterful renditions of the counterpoint of J.S. Bach. Retiring from the concert stage at the young age of 32, he exploited new sound technologies to their fullest and left a rich musical heritage in his many recordings. A visionary thinker and author, who foresaw the profound impact of technology on culture and society, he also pursued a remarkably diverse career in radio and television. Long after his premature death, Gould continues to challenge and inspire.
