Beethoven Piano Concertos - Glenn Gould
The opus 58 was the concerto with which Gould gave his orchestral début, playing its first movement on 8 May 1946. “Who does the kid think he is, Artur Schnabel?” snorted one critic, while another touted the thirteen-year-old boy as a “genius.” Whatever the case, this was the Beethoven concerto he played most frequently in public—twenty-nine times. I've created this aggregate of the Glenn Gould recording of the five Beethoven's piano concertos for my personal use and I'm more than happy to share it with people that appreciate Glenn Gould's estatic interpretation of these ingenious pieces as much as I do. I've gathered 15 movements into one video just so I don't have to download all of them one by one on my phone for everyday listening. Concerto No. 1 in C major for Piano and Orchestra, Op. 15: I.
