Description: Further DetailsTitle: Beethoven: Symphonies 5 & 6 Transcibed for Piano by LisztCondition: NewDescription: EDITORIAL REVIEWS AMAZON None of Liszt's ingenuous Beethoven symphony transcriptions had been recorded when Glenn Gould charted virgin territory in 1967 with the Fifth. Not only does Gould take Liszt's prodigious technical demands in stride, he also turns in what may be his best Beethoven playing on record. The pianist brings a kind of rhythmic acuity to the outer movements that makes many orchestral versions seem tame in comparison, even those with faster tempos. Gould's genius for sustaining tension at slow tempos is fully revealed in the second movement, in which each phrase is timed to a T. The first movement of the Pastorale flows more assuredly and accurately than in Gould's CBC Radio performance of the entire transcription. It's a pity Gould abandoned his plans to record the entire cycle. --Jed DistlerFormat: CDGenre: ClassicalArtist: Ludwig van BeethovenNo Of Discs: 1Record Label: Sony ClassicalLanguage: EnglishEAN: 0074645263625 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
