I am writing to you since I am looking for a cover photo of a deleted CD of Walter Gieseking, in which Gieseking is sitting in a stool by his piano wearing his typical hat. In this cover photo, he has his legs crossed and he is smiling. The cover photo shows him in full body.
I would be grateful if you could tell me about the label and catalogue number of the deleted CD.

Gieseking is very famous. There are hundreds of 78's . Record companies and radio recorded so much he did it must make poor Rosina wonder what the hell was going on . He has always been known well. as a little black kid in when i went to buy recordings of the Beethoven sonatas he was all I could find. No Kempf , Arrau , Kovacevich , Rubin or Horowitz or Schnabel .

@vasrach sorry my comment was for the lipatti version!

@Sinfoniette Yes he made a little mistake in the begining. Not that it matters anyway.
Amazing interpretation....I didn't know him! He should be more famous!
-
Indeed... I'll probably be putting it up after Michelangeli (Mitropoulos).

This concerto was performed definitively by Dinu Lipatti . . . .
-
The chords at the beginning is amazingly clear! I think I heard one that I haven't heard in any other recording.
Isn't there a rec with Furtwangler, though?
-
some woodwinds are out of tune.. what a pity!
-
Stupendous playing! Bravo! TY.
