Various Brahms: Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No. 1 in D Minor, Op. 15 (CD)

Description: Further DetailsTitle: Brahms: Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No. 1 in D Minor, Op. 15Condition: NewDescription: EDITORIAL REVIEWS AMAZON Newly remastered from a Voice of America mono off-line aircheck, one hears more detail and ambiance here than in previous reissues of this controversial performance taped live at Carnegie Hall April 6th, 1962. The conductor's infamous "disclaimer" disassociating himself from Glenn Gould's slow tempi is preserved along with a snippet from an interview in which Gould defends both his interpretation and Bernstein's actions. The first movement starts slow, but insidiously speeds up to a tempo not far from the norm. Flickering in and out of Bernstein's turgid orchestral backdrop, Gould downplays the music's fiery intensity, seeking to emphasize its meditative qualities and contrapuntal implications. If Sony wanted to issue a Gould Brahms D- Minor, why not the more incisive, and far better-engineered October 1962 Baltimore version? --Jed Distler REVIEW The year was 1962, and the notoriously iconoclastic pianist Gould arrived at the New York Philharmonic with some of the slowest tempos anybody had ever heard in this concerto. Some of the slowness seems labored, but mostly it's justified because Gould had so much to say about the piece that he needed more room to say it in. -- USA TodayFormat: CDGenre: ClassicalArtist: VariousNo Of Discs: 1Record Label: Sony ClassicalLanguage: EnglishEAN: 0074646067529 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
