[F_minor] Re: GG Brahms

[Peter Roosen-Runge <peter@cse.yorku.ca>]

With respect to Gould's recording of the Brahms Ballades and 
Rhapsodies,  there's a fascinating audio resource at

http://www.collectionscanada.ca/glenngould/028010-700-e.html#c

	"Recorded in 1982 in New York City, the following tapes constitute the 
entire Brahms Ballades and Rhapsodies sessions. 	These were to be 
Gould's last piano recordings."

I find these files quite exciting - they give you a wonderful sense of 
"fly on the wall" presence as Gould works his way through the scores, 
constructing, measure by measure, the recorded performances, from bits 
and pieces played with great liveliness and virtuosity - repeated until 
they meet his standards.

I wonder if these files have ever been used for an analysis and 
reconstruction of  Gould's creative process in making a recording?
