Just listening now. Apart from the fact that I dislike listening to recorded piano concertos ....

Gould is not for everyone...

A classical version is assessted by me by criteria as: technique (dynamique), are the intentions of the composer transferred as accurate and natural as possible ?

 I am pretty much a purist but . . . sometimes i hear such a natural fluidity in the playing of an artist/artists without changing the intentions of the composer to much that it is forgivable for me.

'Gould' seems to be a hit or a miss for me. 

 

P.S. still learning.

Listening to classical music grows, needs training.

Right about that.

Well for sure. With me it is overexposure I am worried about. So many concerts feature a piano concerto, often a warhorse. I quite like to hear them fresh, and in any case am not fond of them, so I have cut out the recorded ones, more or less, so as not to get bored. 

 

 

My next concert includes Rachmaninov 1, which I admit I can’t remember. After that, Tchaikovsky 1, which I can’t forget. After that, Shostakovich 2, Liszt 2 - you get the idea.
