More than 50 years ago, in May 1957 in Berlin, Glenn Gould and Herbert von Karajan had their first encounter, when Gould performed in a concert of Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3 in C minor and Sibelius’s Symphony No. 5 in E flat with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.
Recently re-mastered from the original tapes, this concert recording is now available on CD for the first time.
This enhanced CD also contains a PDF-format reproducing the original programme from this legendary concert.
The album is released to mark Karajan’s 100th anniversary, and the 75th anniversary of Gould’s birth, and the 25th anniversary of his death.
