Mozart:Piano Sonata No.10 In C Major (K. 330); Fantasia And Fugue In C Major (K. 394); Piano Concert
Here is an intense reading digging as deep into this masterpiece as you're likely to hear by the Canadian pianist who became one of the best-known and celebrated classical pianists of the 20th century. The recording is clear and well balanced, with the vivid CBC woodwind engaging in dialogue with the inspired Gould. Never have the stern yet shapely melodic lines of Mozart's greatest minor-key concerto been etched more incisively than in this 1961 recording, gracefully accompanied by Walter Susskind and the CBC Symphony. There are a lot of outstanding Mozart recordings around at the moment, but even by Gould's standards, this one is very special and stamped with that unique Gould magic.
