In the early 1960's, Gould was already conducting orchestral ensembles from the piano in several hour-long educational lectures which were broadcast on CBC public television. These included the program Glenn Gould on Bach which featured a performance of Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 in D major in which Gould collaborated with Julius Baker and Oscar Shumsky.[6]

On September 8, 1982, a few weeks before his death, Gould conducted a chamber orchestra in Wagner's Siegfried Idyll.[7] Sony later released the recording together with three piano transcriptions of Wagner music by Gould, played by himself, from a 1973 album.[8] Gould's performances of the Siegfried Idyll, both the piano and orchestral version, have an extremely slow tempo.[9]
