I agree. But did you ever hear any of that album? Screamingly bad! And popular books are fine - but they don't *have* to be both silly and pretentious at the same time. D.960 indeed. He does the same with a Beethoven sonata in Astra Taylor's movie - gives the full title, sonata number and key and opus number. His bits in that movie are absolutely hilarious.
