To a certain extent they each do their own thing in the first movement, which in places in their hands has an almost rhapsodic quality. Gould responds to Stokowski's quite splendid opening chords, for instance, in an almost improvisatory way, treating the solo part almost like a kind of opening cadenza. This divergence continues through much of the movement with Stokowski pressing on and Gould sometimes choosing to linger. Stokowski brings out much detail in the orchestra that is not always heard to full effect and, as always with him, the playing is often very illuminating and exciting. The slow movement is played very beautifully..
Gould and Stokowski were not merely different; they were unique and we shall never hear anyone remotely like them again
A fascinating, stimulating and challenging performance to place in a collection .
