Glenn Gould played Beethoven’s piano
concertos from the beginning of his short
concert career, this recording being made
when he was 24, the same age as the
composer when he wrote his Piano
Concerto No. 2. Gould’s vitality and
enthusiasm in the first movement are
particularly notable, as is Bernstein’s highly
expressive interpretation of the beautiful
Adagio. Despite his temperamental
aversion to chamber music and his
preference for pre-romantic music,
Gould’s account with the Montreal String
Quartet of Brahms’s F minor Piano Quintet
is clearly articulated, propulsive and highly
focussed.
