As far as I know, even if anyone else has in fact recorded it, the
Schneiderhan recording is the only one currently available.  The
performance is of a standard that makes it a top choice whether or not
there is any competition.  Usually if one waits, and waits, and waits for
a few months or perhaps years, desirable things such as this are recoupled.

Ditto.
