This is my all-time favourite recording of this piece, and I'm a big fan of the recent recording by Mark Viner too. I think for the Smith, I love the actual sound of the recording as much as the performance. I don't know if it's the audio quality or the sound of the piano, but everything about it adds to the sense of struggle inherent in the story of the piece.
I don't care what anyone thinks this is one of my favourite pieces ever.
same with you
