Excellent. Revelatory, even. This sonata never
sounded to me like it was composed around the
same period as the Fantasie, until now. Other
performances make it sound more like late,
dense, dark, esoteric Schumann.

Quite different from Uehara. Bolder tonal palette. Interpretation is
more old-school. The playing suggests to me how I imagine Horowitz might
have played it in the early 60s without the agogics of his late 70s
performances.
