CAPSULE SUMMARY: There are two significantly different versions of this CD, published in 2003 and 2005 respectively, that use different
performances for some of the tracks.  On the 2003 release the Op. 49 Sonatas are taken from the O'Conor recordings whereas the 2005 release does not
use O'Conor for the Op. 49 Sonatas.  The 2005 release uses O'Conor's Appassionata, but the 2003 release uses someone else's Appassionata.  The
Waldstein Sonata is the most bizarre example of all.  The 2005 releases uses O'Conor for all three movements of the Waldstein, however, the 2003 release
uses O'Conor for the first two movements but has a finale that has been put together from more than one recording.  The finale's opening 101 measures (until
12 measures before the main theme returns after the first long episode) and the last 144 measures (from two measures before the start of the coda)
do not use the O'Conor recording.  

The 2005 version introduces some minor time stretching on a few movements  There is a third version of this CD (published in 2006) that improves the
sound quality  and has slight changes in track placement.,  but is identical to the 2005 release in all other aspects.
