Title: Gould - live and unedited
Product review: These wonderous disks capturing Gould in concerto and recital live from Sweden make you want to question Gould's won preference for studio recording. Without the editing process, we hear 'one take' Glenn, free and spontaneous. The Beethoven 2nd concerto has more fun and sparkle than either the live Leningrad recording or the studio disc with Bernstein. The music making is pure joy throughout, sunny, happy and played to perfection.The Mozart C minor (one of Gould's most inspired interpretations) is a lighter and less intense than the brooding studio recording. The Haydn and Beethoven have their moments, but Gould went on to rediscover Haydn towards the end of his career with more obvious relish.Of course these are live, unedited performances. Not a note is out of place.
