Thanks Scott,

Anybody have the Sony Edition of these works? I don't, but sometimes the
liner notes can be very useful. Perhaps
they can help us with this issue.

of this performance...I'd love to hear it myself.

concerto is that the conductor with whom GG was working with at the time,
one Vladimir Golschmann, suddenly died, and GG was too hurt to finish the
project with another conductor.  He was also planning to rerecord the
d-minor concerto with Golschmann, which he wanted to replace the one he did
with Bernstein years before, but this also never came to be, because of the
death.
