While I agree with the posters below that the Jake recording of the VW is not the best one (un)available, I still think it is worth getting a hold of it.

I'm of the opinion that in studying a piece of music, it is important to hear as many recordings of that piece as possible. You are bound to find things you like and things you don't like about each performance, and can use that information to improve your own playing.

In order to play a piece really well, you need a good aural concept of what you want to sound like, and hearing others perform the piece is very beneficial to your development.

My opinion, FWIW
