The Second Piano Sonata is played by Sviatoslav Richter on Pyramid 13497
which also has him playing "Ludus Tonalis".  I don't know the Gould
performance, but I enjoy these.

Run, do not walk, to get a recording of Hindemith's *Kleine Kammermusik*,
Opus 24 No. 2, for wind quintet.  I have two performances on CD: w/
players from the Concertgebouw (London 433 816-2) and the other, w/ the
Syrinx Quintet, consisting of Ingrid Salewski, flute; Dieter Salewski,
oboe; Wolfgang Meyer, clarinet; Katl-Theo Molberg, horn, and Rainer
Schottstaet, bassoon, on MD=GL 329A.
