Interesting thought, Steve, that Gieseking "played for the microphone/recording/broadcast" rather than "just playing it" "for himself". Of course, this might well be true, just as some of G's era +/- eschewed the recording process. But now I am left wondering about G's very-audible-to-me chromae and "dynamic capabilities", whether only those of us who hear him only via his recording have heard these "signature" qualities. I suppose it says something about my own listening habits that this idea never occurred to me before you suggested it. Does anyone know how critics reviewed Giseking following his earlier live performances? Any mention of the "special" qualities apart from broadcasts/recordings?
