And me. Very much looking forward to a new recording of the sonata...

Received my copy today. I'd never encountered the Piano Sonata before: dedicated to Liszt, it is a magnificent example of the early flowering of romanticism. Although clearly much more conservative in style than the music of its dedicatee, it's nevertheless a heart-warming piece, full of lovely melodies and beautifully crafted for the piano. By the way, there's some truly finger-breaking passage-work in the piece - ouch!

Thanks for the review; a must buy.
