Arguably the most sought after recording of Glenn Gould, this is the lesser known version of the Brahms Piano Concerto No. 1. Gould's version here is more conventional in both interpretation and tempi.
If Sony wanted to issue a Gould Brahms D- Minor, why not the more incisive, and far better-engineered October 1962 Baltimore version? --Jed Distler (gramophone magazine)
