I've listened many times to Gould's recording of the first
movement of
Beethoven's 5th symphony. It is stirring.
Jim here:
Agreed. That's one of Gould's best Beethoven
performances, IMHO.
I love it and think it's the most successful of the
movements from the
fifth symphony.
By the way, if any of you out there have only heard the
first movement
of the sixth symphony on the complete fifth symphony disc, I
should
tell you I believe that the CBC version is much more moving,
more soulful
in a way. And if I remember correctly, it's taken at a
slower tempo.
