I have it. It's an excellent M4th, extremely well played, recorded and interpreted with many fresh touches. Only the singing (if I recall correctly) in the finale is slightly disappointing in that the soprano sounds a bit too stretched and uncomfortable in the fast passages. Overall, I'd rate it as highly as Schwarz's M7th and M8th.
