    I wonder when thi performance takes place. Im my humble opinion, it doesn’t compare witheither of his recordedperformances.i

    I always doubt what I hear from old recordings and from youtube lol. I love youtube but how can something good be so available. But this is Glenn Gould and if there is a flaw in the sound, my failing ear can’t pick it out. Thank you for sharing this.

    This performance makes you understand why Gould preferred the studio to live concertizing So many nuances he brings out in the recordings (both of them) are missing here.
