Just subtract 1 from 960 and you have Ashkenazy's 2 year old London cd
of Schubert's D.959.  I never heard it, but the reviews were not
complimentary.

I have three discs of Cooper's Schubert.  She is very fine, but tends to
approach the works like Brendel.  That's no crime, but there's only one
Brendel.  Why take the son of Kong when you can have King Kong?  I
remember the reviews for Cooper being good, but not outstanding.
