Glenn Gould
Concert Tours
Part 3 of 7
Program for New York Philharmonic Orchestra subscription concert, January 26, 1957, Leonard Bernstein conducting. Glenn Gould played Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 2 in B-flat Major Op. 19 at his New York Philharmonic debut.
Program for New York Philharmonic Orchestra subscription concert, March 13-14, 1958, Dimitri Mitropoulos conducting. Glenn Gould played Bach's Concerto for Piano and Orchestra in D Minor and Schoenberg's Concerto for Piano and Orchestra, Op. 42.
Gould's recording of Bach's long and difficult Goldberg Variations in 1955 marked the beginning of his association with Columbia Records (later CBS), which lasted until his death. It was an outcome of the spectacular success of Gould's Washington and New York City debuts earlier that year: the morning after the New York recital, the director of Columbia Masterworks signed up the unknown Canadian for a recording contract.
