Sorry about that, Don. I have not heard enough Schumann recordings
in order to make a definitive judgement. I do not want to step on your
toes, so I will come up with my own "mildly recommended"-category. This
means good value for the money, but you can probably find a better
recording at full price ;-)
>I am curious about this Steiner disc. Is it available on any websites?
I don't know. I bought it in a shop in Bristol, UK.
