RE: GG FW: <inquiry> Bernstein/Gould pfm in April 1962



A new maild arrived from Rich Wandel:

>The date of the actual national broadcast was Saturday the 7th. We have
>"radio programs" which were sent to the listeners confirming this as the
>broadcast date. (not a live broadcast).  Therefore the concert date had to
>be either the 5th or the 6th.  Since Bernstein makes reference to it not

Now date of the legendary performance was verified.
It was from the 6th Friday concert 
and broadcast on the 7th, Saturday.

Having been upset with the review by Shonberg,
GG played the concerto much faster on the 8th, Sunday concert.
I wish the faster one had been recorded and survived!
