Ulvi Yurtsever drew our attention to Glenn Gould's:

The first version of the third piano concerto I ever owned was Gould's - I
once lent it to a friend from whom a burglar with excellent taste stole it.
During a flute passage in the slow movement, there was a less than discreet
cough in the distance.  I've tried not to, but I always mentally insert the
cough whenever I hear any version of the concerto.
