Which version? GG recorded at least two that i know of.
The version with Menuhin is a heroic failure (Sir Yehudi recorded the score as a
favor to GG; but had neither affection nor insight for Schoenberg)... a lot
less well known as a violinist, Israel Baker is (in this work at least) vastly
superior.
Both of these versions were reissued in the Glenn Gould Edition (the Baker in
the 2 CD Schoenberg piano works set)... if the new version is by the proverbial
A N Other, you'll have to let _me_ know....
All the best,
