The Sony CD of GG's Beethoven sonatas 12 and 13 is about my favourite  
CD of his (mine is the Sony Japanese version published in 1983; the  
recordings are from 1979 and 1981. The CD serial number is 35DC 105. I  
can't tell you any more because apart from the front cover and the  
printing on the CD, just about everything else is in Japanese). The  
billturner.vox recording sounds identical to the CD.

Wagner said of Beethoven's seventh symphony that he thought it was  
“the apotheosis of the dance”, which I take to mean that Wagner  
thought it was real toe-tapper. GG's sonatas 12 and 13 have sections  
that, to me, are more toe-tapping than even the best recordings of the  
seventh. Strongly recommended (the 12/13 CD, that is).
