I have not come across the version by L'Archibudelli and will certainly go hunting for that one!mcq wrote:The version by L'Archibudelli is self-recommending, Fergus, but I'm also very taken by a recent version on Harmonia Mundi with Faust, Melnikov and Queyras which is coupled with No. 6. One of the very best versions I've heard of this masterpiece. I'm also very fond of the complete set of the trios by Trio Wanderer (also on HM) which features a very fine version of the Archduke.
Faust, Melnikov and Queyras are names that most definitely would interest me in this work.
Many thanks for the recommendations.
