Yes those are the recordings I mentioned. IIRC, the original Ensayo issue was a 2 lp set and we only issued 1 disc.

Thanks.

I hadn't noticed before that the 2LP set you mentioned has the complete Op.13, whereas my CD (and others I could locate on the 'net) have only the Minuetto included. There's certainly enough space on the cd. Anyway, gave it a couple of spins this weekend, very enjoyable, spirited performances!

 

NP:  from the Quartetto Italiano Box,

Boccherini Op.6, no.1, (CD18)

Beethoven, Op.59, no.1 (CD22)

Rachmaninoff: Trio No. 2 in D minor, "Elegiaque" / David Oistakh, Lev Oborin, Sviatoslav Knushevitsky (Melodiya, Westminster Gold/ABC)

Deep, deep, dark melancholy... so Russian and so beautiful.

I'm also listening to Brendel's recording of Schubert's "Moments musicaux," as heard on this LP:

Thanks for prompting me to pull this wonderful record off my shelf! 🙂

👍👍👍!!!

Sonatas Nos. 3,4,5&6

 

The spontaneity and fluidity are present in these recordings. I have to compare them more against his second cycle but at the moment i am leaning towards this one. Great stuff.

Took a few listens for the Sessions to come together for me, but it got there. The McPhee seems to reveal itself immediately, no idea what the long-range implications of that are.

Cool cover, too.

Sonatas Nos. 7,20,9 & 30
