n actually da zepp only ztarted doubtin diz rec aftah comparin it to da HUFF VID PERF taken 3 yrz latah, where every zect zound bazically da zame, juz 20% zl*wah
I knew the taper! Without actually having listened to the tube version I don’t think there’s any tampering here. Hough had a superman technique in those days, and wasn’t afraid to use it. I remember it as blazingly fast as well. Also, when comparing recs the tempo adopted depends on the conductor.
Either Levine groped the soloist just before the concert and the peniszt was so upset (or: excited?) about it that he could play at a supernatural speed;
Somebody or something tampered with the original speed of the recording.
Oh, since it’s Levine the first one goes without saying, and having listening to the youtube video myself now the second one does as well.
I have the original, which is sharp in pitch. This tuber has corrected the pitch, but has done so isochronally! The speed at da tube hence really is wrong.
ahahahah ok wut iz da TYMIN of da original zheeyat? (from firzt note to lazt) da zepp wud guezz around 40-41 mins bazed on hiz current undahztandin of da HUFF TECH

It clocks in at about 38:17 at the correct speed, plus a 30 sec or so pause between I & II. It’s an insane performance even originally though, which is why I didn’t think it was necessarily tampered with - just not this insane!
haha wtf? Surely not just coz he’s black?
Also, I thought it would be more impressive but switching back to the triplets immediately afterwards pulls back momentum.
