What a beautiful piano tone! Wish I could travel back in time and watch this genius Glenn Gould's performance even though he hated the live concert!

wow i was just gonna upload my copy of this cause i thought i was the only one on the planet who has one! i think this might be the greatest live performance of gould's i've ever heard. especially cause, the sound quality is so fantastic - turn it up loud and you can hear him moaning and groaning and even his chair creaking. i always loved that the audience applauds at the end of the first movement. the strauss is fantastic too. thanks jhon! you've done the gould community a great service - can't believe more people haven't heard and raved about it.

Sorry but I must respectfully disagree with the applause after the first movement I think it's disruptive and annoying are people there to hear music or watch a show? Otherwise I'm with you on the way this was recorded and and his brilliant interpretation of it

More or less the same tempi and articulation as the performance with Victor Feldbrill and the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra in 1959, but the sound is far superior. A brilliant interpretation and execution in both cases and proof that, when he wasn't fooling around, Gould was one the greatest pianists of the entire 20th century. A document which renders ever more incomprehensible the bizzare performance with Leonard Bernstein and the NYPhilharmonic. Many thanks for the posting.

For better or worse, that performance influenced many pianists to play the first movement very slowly.

I LOVE the NYP performance! Normally I appreciate all different interpretations of any works, but in that case, I have a definite preference for Gould's tempo. I searched and searched for ANYONE who played the first movement that slowly (the Gould recording is horribly marred by coughing). The tension and momentum.... unbeatable. If there is an afterlife and I meet GG, the first thing I'll say is, "You were right about the Brahms!" ;)

Unbelievable how different this performance is from the performance with Bernstein. Is this really Gould?
@ProfDrislane

This is certainly Glenn Gould; the Gouldian fingerprints are everywhere; the contrapuntal approach, unusual trills, gesture based phrasing, etc. Yes, this is quite a different performance from that with Bernstein. But Gould was as Bernstein said a "thinking performer," and so he plays it differently!
@samhooper

The first movement is so much faster than the earlier NYPO / Bernstein live recording! Do you think Gould was stung by Bernstein's pre-concert "disclaimer" speech or Harold Schonberg's rather bitchy review of that concert, where he (ludicrously) suggested that Gould played slowly because his technique wasn't so good? On the one hand, Gould was a thinking performer and could plausibly have held several conceptions of the work in his head within a relatively short timeframe. On the other hand, given the more we now know about Gould's personal life and some of his personal characteristics, I don't think he was above scouring the newspapers to see what they had to say about him - and potentially changing tack accordingly. Is this recording basically a giant FU to Harold Schonberg? Thoughts?

Gould never played works the same way twice. We have 3 live recordings of the Brahms (1959, and 2 from 1962), and each has quite different points of emphasis, and each interpretation makes an original contribution to our understanding of the greatness this work..

gould claimed to not have taken offence to bernstein's pre concert disclaimer but i'd bet money he was by schonberg's review because from what i've read he disliked him very much. i also read an anecdote that another concert pianist made a comment to him after the concert - having heard gould regularly talking about retiring from the concert stage - that if he was going to play like that he should (retire). to which gould replied "et tu, brute?" i look at the slow version as an inspired artistic experiment that didn't "react".

Gould made a point of trying out different interpretive conceptions, as when he proposed doing that slow-motion Op. 15 to Bernstein. A piece of music can stand multiple conceptions, though one may be better than another. For example listen to his accounts of the first movement of Bach's Concerto 1: Bernstein/Columbia (fairly brisk); Mitropoulos/NYP (brisker); Bernstein/NYP/TV (quite deliberate.) It had nothing to do with Harold Schonberg. This is a Brahms 1 with two normal tempos and an unusually brisk Adagio, and it works better that way. The orchestra/conductor are not on a level that is up to today's standard, I would say.

А much superior reading of Brahms than the scandalous one with Bernstein. When Glenn plays "normal," he is quite spectacular, despite those annoying measured trills. 🙂
