Glenn Gould and the Columbia Symphony Orchestra conducted by Leonard Bernstein
The composition of Beethoven?s Third Piano
Concerto is linked to a number of musical
innovations that mark the character of this
weighty work in C minor. Unlike his two previous
concertos for the keyboard, in the Third Beethoven
does not permit the piano part to melt with the
orchestra, but lets the instrument act for itself
as a opponent, as it were, within the symphonic
context.
Glenn Gould, whose analytical Bach interpretations
won him international acclaim, appears to be born
to re-enact Beethoven?s idiosyncrasies in a
special setting. The soloist strives against the
forceful orchestral introduction with angular
chords ? and for a moment one holds one?s breath
in suspense. Completely engrossed and highly
concentrated, Gould moulds the Largo with his
fingers, consolingly answered in dark sounds from
the depth of the orchestra. The Finale comes on
with Bach-like strictness, all the notes as though
carved in stone. Again and again the movement
changes from lyrical song to turbulent ecstasy,
which drives forward to the end with electrifying
emotion.
