Yes! Real favourites.

Something I saw last week which was new to me was this - Pollini playing Prokoviev 3 (apparently on his 25th birthday!).

Not familiar with this one .... have to give it a listen later ....

I loved it. The orchestra is perhaps not totally synched up with him the whole time, but his playing is just perfect for this for my tastes (as it is e.g. for the Prokofiev sonata he recorded),

Larry, how do like Chen's Bach? I love her Hat Art recordings of Schoenberg and Barraque/Boulez. Most curious about Bach, but reluctant to take a flier considering the # of recordings I already own.

This is the only Bach from her I know. I like it a lot.  On the measured side at times (but dig her Allemande below), with a lovely sense of repose when that suits.
