Should I take that as an oblique agreement?

No, you can take it as I am not going to argue with you, but if I was, I would be laughing at you the entire time. But no, we are friends... :D

Rest in peace to the great Paul Badura-Skoda. Unfortunately, I know his name more than any of his music. What would be a good place to start? I know he has recorded the complete Schubert sonatas several times, including completions of unfinished sonatas that he assembled himself. I'll have to sample these different cycles and see if any are worthy. I do not have any complete Schubert sonata cycle.

The Astrée Mozart. Chopin etudes.

I'm starting to think that his fortepiano recordings are the core part of the legacy. The modern piano recordings are fine  but it's not there that he has something special to say.

Thanks, well put. Also agree about the Mozart. I have the Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert sets. All great, but the Mozart is especially superior.
