If people liked this, this is actually the third in a series. Schubert wrote them in quick succession (as he knew his death was near) and some internal references within the series.
D958 D959 D960 are the numbers to look up.
Mitsuko Uchida (the featured pianist) is the go-to for Schubert recitals, her exquisitely sensitive touch is great for realising the lightness in Schubert's music which tends to switch between ironic, tragic and profound at a moment's notice while he grappled with the reality of his impending death.
Although currently I am listening to the Alfred Brendel recordings (who is another go to for Schubert).
