Re: GG and his last conducting projects

[Wehwalt der Wolfing <wehwalt@hotbot.com>]

fellow f minors:

off the top of my head i recall that aside from his lugubrious (his word i believe) recording of the idle he had the (wonderfully fatuous) idea to conduct all the beethoven concerti and then go back and insert the piano parts.  he chose the second concerto with which to begin, and i believe recorded the first and second movements with both orchest and piano.

i don't think he recorded the second movement or the rest of the concerti after his death.

anyhow, its in the friedrich (sp?) book.

a personal note: these two movements r the only recordings of gould's that i don't have; at least i don't think i have them......
if anyone has possession of them, i have lots to take out in trade. {including cds of the nlc streaming real audio....... (actually u can make these for urself if u have a bit of audio/pc savvy) also, i have some great hanson bootlegs.}

if u haven't checked out the nlc site, its awesome; u can start here with the streaming real audio........
