I hear so much MORE in the Zenph re-performances in terms of color and escape from the 1955 technical limitations that it perhaps deafens me to whatever rhythmic subtlety (if any!) might be lost. ;-)Also, I don't believe that all the aspects of the 1955 recording are necessarily representative of Gould's intentions. Sure, the original recording is close and dry, but so are a lot of other Columbia piano recordings from the early to mid fifties. This was Gould's first commercial recording - who says he had the level of control over the recording environment which he had later, once he'd become a superstar? Maybe he just took what he got in this instance. In addition, when the '55 performance was re-issued on the first CD reissue, with its "super bit mapping", I was surprised by how much more I could hear the studio reverberation, compared to the original LP, where it was somewhat buried in surface noise and tape hiss.
