Here's another opinion of Demidenko's Schubert.  I remember buying this
set based on a list member's recommendation, maybe Ardella's.  I played
it twice and have not touched it since.  I considered it a "hard"
recording and interpretation, not as bad as Joseph finds it, but
clearly well below Ardella's estimation.
