>          The playing, the piano sonority, the recorded sound—none of this resembles GG. Also, there is no humming/singing. But most important: There is no evidence whatsoever that he ever recorded this. He recorded the Symphony No. 5, recorded the first movement of No. 6 (and the whole thing for CBC), then gave up on the Beethoven-symphonies project. While there are some largely unknown odds-and-ends (live, broadcast, private) from very early in GG’s career, when documentation was sometimes iffy, there are no lost Columbia recordings. There are still a few Columbia things (unfinished projects, etc.) that have never been released, but they are well documented, as is everything he did for Columbia; there seems to be zero chance that we will come across previously unknown, wholly undocumented surprises as significant as an entire, seamlessly edited Beethoven-symphony movement. To revise this opinion, I’d have to see evidence from a source more persuasive than some anonymous guy on YouTube. Kevin Bazzana
