Thank you, Karl Miller, for your additional information about Barbara

For those who don't know, her husband was the distinguished poet Daniel
Haberman.  In his collection of poems and translations, 'The Lug of Days
to Come,' the title poem and 'Loitering Hill' are, in my view, classics.
A very musical poet.

I was not aware that the Pierian issue of the Liszt sonata was a new
performance.  I assumed it was the one originally issued by Newport which
is the one I was referring to.  Because of your description, I've just
ordered it.
