Well, I don't skimp on anything concerning classical music, and "good
enough" is not my trademark.
Mr. Heersink does not think very highly of Haydn's piano sonatas and is
content with Jando. I consider the piano sonatas the "cream" of Haydn's
output, and Jando doesn't come close to satisfying me. The $30 cost did
give me a chuckle; I've probably spent over $300 on Haydn piano sonatas
without any regret, and I have no plans to stop.
What is it with this guy Jando? Some list members make him sound like our
"salvation" to the degree that I'd expect to see a statue of him replacing
the Statue of Liberty.
