Although he recorded all of Mozart's sonatas and admitted enjoying the "actual playing" of them, Gould claimed to dislike Mozart's later works, to the extent of arguing (perhaps facetiously) that Mozart died too late rather than too early. He was fond of a number of lesser-known composers such as Orlando Gibbons, whose "Anthems" he had heard as a teenager, and whose music he felt a "spiritual attachment" to. He recorded a number of Gibbons's keyboard works, and called him his favourite composer, despite his better-known admiration for the technical mastery of Bach. He made recordings of piano music by Jean Sibelius (the Sonatines and "Kyllikki"), Georges Bizet (the "Variations Chromatiques de Concert" and the "Premier nocturne"), Richard Strauss (the Piano Sonata, the Five Pieces, and "Enoch Arden" with Claude Rains), and Paul Hindemith (the three piano sonatas and the sonatas for brass and piano). He also made recordings of the complete piano works "Lieder" by Arnold Schoenberg. In early September 1982, Gould made his final recording: Strauss's Piano Sonata in B minor.
