I don't find GG later recordings lifeless. I am not sure when he recorded the Haydn Piano Sonatas HOBXVI Nos. 42, 48-52 but I can tell you that since I purchased those CDs they have been on my CD player that plays 5 CDs. Each time I hear them it gives me such a boost. I sit down to listen to every note and the rest of the day I am humming or whistling the tunes. This CD is so much fun to listen to that I recommend it to anyone who needs some cheer in their day. Now, that is just my opinion. Who else enjoys them as much as I do?
Kate Clunies-Ross has expressed so much of what I feel that I can't put it any better. Elmer Elevators' message was also well put.
Also, thank you David Pelletier for bringing the wonderful article in the New York Times to our attention.
