Gould/Mozart Sonata in C major, (stereo)

From recording session early January 1958 in New York. First released in monaural (mono) HiFi by Columbia Masterworks. Reissued by Sony in its original stereophonic sound. One of the most frequent works Gould played in recitals all over the world was Mozart’s piano sonata in C major, . We know of at least 18 different locations -from Berlin and Florence in Europe and Tel Aviv in Israël to Boston, New York, Montréal and Toronto in North America to name a few- where he performed it with an obvious pleasure. It is also one of the three works he chose for his very first stereo recording on the Columbia Masterworks label. It was in early January (7 to 10) 1958 and the location was the 30th Street Studio in New York. Columbia released the recording in its monaural (mono) version but Sony reissued it in its original stereophonic sound in 1992. Here it is in its remastered version. Piano Sonata in C major, I. Allegro moderato 5’14“ II. Andante cantabile 6’55“ III. Allegretto 3’55“ Recorded in New York, January 7-10/1958
