Synopsis

Amazon.com

Glenn Gould's playing is so treasured that CD publishers have been looking for anything of his they can find. These treasures, dredged from the CBC archives and Gould's own collection, offer some fresh material. The Beethoven trios, broadcast in 1954, don't sound great, but they are fine performances and show Gould as a fine chamber music collaborator. The piano pieces, from 1952, sound somewhat better and are played straightforwardly, without the eccentric ideas that crept into Gould's playing later in his career. This disc is probably for Gould fans only, but it should delight them. --Leslie Gerber

CD Reviews

EARLY GOULD...THE ONLY RECORDING OF BEETHOVEN'S OP. 101...

Sébastien Melmoth | Hôtel d'Alsace, PARIS | 06/04/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Gould's early work is remarkable. He already had his exquisite timing; moreover, his digital dexterity was absolutely miraculous: he played things as he did because HE COULD do it. None of the great pianists really had GG's gift.

Now, with Beethoven I've long been exclusively a Kempff fan. Kempff had great control and expression, plus he had a real insight into Beethoven's musical architechtonics. Gould has been damned for his vibrant Mozart and his peculiar Beethoven. But I have to say that I prefer GG's Mozart to anybody else's; plus, now I'm getting the vision of his Beethoven.

GG's recordings of Beethoven's late sonatas were done early in his career. Here, the Op. 101 was done in 1952 prior to his great Goldberg's recording of 1955. This is the only performance of GG's B's Op. 101 available. The wonderful Opp. 109-11 were done in 1956. They're incredible, and now I actually prefer them to Kempff's readings.

This is real art."
