Some reactions to this:
1. Is this not a university town we are speaking of? I would bet that
more than 100 people have heards of Schnabel.
2. I am way more dismayed at the spotty stocks you find at Tower,
Borders, and some internet cd outlets. Try searching Amazon.com
for something just a bit of the beaten path!!
3. Schnabel's Second Symphony is an excellent work, IM not so HO.
Not a lovable work, not a comfortable work, but if you like(for
example) Krenek or Sessions, you may like this one.
