*Never* listen to John McCabe, the *butcher* of Haydn sonatas! ;) OTOH, my
countryman Reinbert de Leeuw recorded some Satie in the seventies in a way
quite different from Ciccolini's. I prefer C. but I would be interested
in the ideas of other list members about De Leeuw's effort (I think he is
too *Romantic* here and his tempi often are too slow).
