Re: GG: Schubert

     I thought I had seen some Schubert recording(s) by GG, maybe 
     some chamber music.  But I can't say that I've heard any.  
     Maybe I'm hallucinating or forgetting, as the case may be.

Happy Schubert's 200th birthday, everyone.
     
Which Schubert work do you think GG would have done best, if he had chosen 
to play any Schubert?  My vote is for the sonata in A, D959, especially the 
slow movement in which things go along all poised and somberly, and then 
suddenly splatter apart.  I think Gould's control of slow tempo could have 
been great in this piece.  He probably would have got away with a notably 
slow tempo in the last movement, too.
