Hi List,
As some of you know, there's a recording floating
around the homes of a few special people of Gould and Karajan playing
Beethoven's Third Piano Concerto.
Some of you, like me, perhaps
have wondered just what in the heck else they played that night. Is
there another portion of that evening of Gould and Karajan playing
that may be unearthed sometime in the future?
Maybe some solo Bach by Gould was played that night? Or a Bach
concerto?
Well, I don't think so. In the Gould: A
Portrait video, which is full of fantastic archival material, there's a quick
image of the program for that evening's concert
and from what I can tell be trying to
read the fuzzy image of my VCR-paused picture, the Beethoven
Third was the only thing played by Gould that night.
The other pieces that night did not involve
Gould.
I'm working from faulty memory here and I've
loaned my video out so I can't double check, but I'm sure one work was by Hindemith.
The Mathis der Mahler symphony, or maybe the
Symphonic Metamorphosis.
The other work was by Tchaikovsky: either his
Fifth or Sixth Symphony, from what I can
tell.
If anybody knows for sure, feel free to write
in.
Thanks,
Jim
