The Hallmark recordings are certainly GG. Some solo, some with violinist
A. Pratz. Check any of the several available discographies.
My own favorite on the disc is the Berg Sonata...interesting to compare
this passionate performance with the later one on Columbia, which has
cooler repose (in my opinion). They're both clearly the work of the same
player: more similar to each other than in the other pieces which GG did
twice in the studio (Mozart, Haydn sonata, Bach GV).
