Re: [F_MINOR] Glenn plays Liszt

[DorianLS@AOL.COM]

Well, Brad, what do you think of the two respective recordings?  I just listened to the excerpt from the CBS site and it is fine indeed.  Hearing all the voices rendered in piano (and by Gould) is a wonderful way to appreciate this symphony.  And I agree with Fred:  I've heard the symphony enough in orchestral versions to last me for a long time.  Gould's playing here brings the music alive again and against the backdrop of Gould walking in the north woods brings out the programatic aspects of the music beautifully.  Which version do you suppose it is?  Thanks,  Dorian
