"Schubert: Piano Sonata in A, D959 (Garrick Ohlssohn) - the second of the three late great sonatas composed by the dying Schubert, expertly realised in this ace new recording. The coupled earlier sonata in A minor (D537) - with which it shares a melody - is almost as fine"

This prompted memories of a lone pilgrimage to Vienna I made in 2018. I visited Schubert's birthplace, deathplace (his brother Ferdinand's former apartment - Schubert always lodged with friends and never had his own home), the church where he was baptised and performed and premiered some works, the royal chapel where he sang with the Vienna boys' choir, and both of his graves. Because it was the Christmas period, I managed to experience all these places completely alone - excepting the royal chapel, where I went to early mass.

That's without mentioning 'the others'. I think you would love the city beyond words.
