Re: [F_minor] Brahms D minor / Baltimore
That Gould/Adler/Baltimore performance of the Brahms is extreme in a
different way: it has one of the fastest second movements I know. No
dawdling. They get through it in 9'32". In most of the other
recordings I have (by other people) that movement takes 14-16 minutes.
Even Horowitz took as much as 12'40" and 12'35" playing it with
Toscanini and Walter. Gould/Bernstein/NYP took 13'36".

By the way, the Baltimore Brahms is in adequate stereo and Gould's
interpretative approach is less extreme than the infamous
NYPO/Bernstein account from a year or two earlier.
