There was no meeting of minds and the recording is a near-disaster, tempi all over the place.

Gould called Strauss’s “Morgen” “a rather terrible piece,” and said he must have written it like a “Beatnik simply sitting in his pad,” strumming chords on his guitar.

Schwarzkopf must have lasered him with a killer look.
