Never heard the first movement more vivid played. Especcially the first two concertos played Gould magnificent. There is a third concerto with Gould and Karajan in Berlin, great.
Yes Wonderful - sounds so much better than Sony's mono, tinny and boxy mastering. Columbia originally released this with J.S. Bach's Keyboard Concerto no.1 in D minor. I can only speculate that Sony Corp made a commercial decision not to subject their mono recordings to credible stereophonic imaging, thus preserving lucrative scope to continually re-release it's legacy in improved sound. Bravo Deucalion for beating them to it !

In this case, the "Columbia Symphony Orchestra" was a chamber orchestra of top-flight NY players. In the GG/LB Beethoven Third, by contrast, the "Columbia Symphony Orchestra" is drawn from the New York Philharmonic.
Beethoven asserts his personality at once. The tempo marking con brio means brisk -fast, energetic, sharp and abrupt, Mozart never wrote con brio in his concertos or sonatas. Beethoven uses it in the the first three concertos, sonatas 3, 4, 5, 9. 11, 21 32. In his quartets 1. 6.11, and symphonies 1, 2 5 7 From these and other works, Beethoven uses con brio for the first movement except for the final of the 7th and mainly in his earlier works Hard, terse, fierce and sharp contrasts was to remain until the end, but as his style mellowed, the uncompromising con brio, becomes less apt with a handful exceptions.
I heartily agree with Tim Stevens, Deucalions sound is far better than on LP or CD. The highlight of the 5 Concerto's (for me), is No. 1 - with Golschmann. Pity he wasn't in charge of all 5. However, better Bernstein than nothing, I suppose.
