The Paley Center reexamines the television work of the legendary Canadian pianist Glenn Gould (193282) with a special fortieth anniversary screening of a little-known 40-minute segment from the April 28, 1968, edition of the WNET newsmagazine program Public Broadcasting Laboratory. Here Gould gives a lighthearted analysis of the music of Mozart and performs the complete Mozart Piano Sonata in B-flat major, K. 333. The screening will be introduced by the acclaimed pianist Simone Dinnerstein; a conversation with our distinguished panel to follow.

Richard Burton's Hamlet:
See His Broadway Triumph Live Via Electronovision
Introduced by Kate Burton
Thursday, May 22, 2008; 6:00 to 9:30 pm
Richard Burton's performance of Hamlet in 1964 still reverberates in the Broadway memory. Newsweek called the Sir John Gielguddirected production "a monument to the actor's art," and last year the ghost of Burton's Hamlet inspired a piece by the Wooster Group. In a rare public screening, the Center will present Burton's complete Hamlet, captured in 1964 by Electronovision, a then-new technology that recorded the immediacy of live performance in the theater. Kate Burton will introduce the evening. (191 minutes)
The Center thanks Sally Burton and Paul Brownstein for making this screening possible.
