It's been more than a quarter century since Canadian pianist Glenn Gould died, yet fascination with him continues.

A new documentary "Genius Within: the Inner Life of Glenn Gould" opens tonight in Minneapolis.

It adds more fuel to the fire with new revelations about Gould's life away from the concert hall.

Its director Peter Raymont told Euan Kerr even after several books and films he discovered there is still a lot to be learned about Gould.
