Description:

This is the second release in the "Sony Classical Masterpieces Collection 1000". This is a rare recording of the gifted Canadian pianist Glenn Gould performing with the great master Leopold Stokowski for the only time in his life. Gould was eager to perform with his predecessor in the recording medium, which he deeply respected. Following Stokowski's demand for a "hero's tempo," this work presents an image of an "emperor" with majestic dignity, grandeur, and clarity of detail.
