It is not music that has featured a lot in my listening over the years for some reason. As a result I only have this set in my collection....Seán wrote: Are there any other recordings of the Mozart piano trios members might care to recommend?

Not much to go on Seán but you are welcome. I will be interested to see if any other recommendations are forthcoming.

Moussorgsky: Boris Godounov / Gergiev [1872 version]....
On first listen I imagine myself preferring the earlier 1869 version; I have no idea why at this stage. I am not familiar enough with the work yet even to make a valued comparison of both versions.

I do not have it but I have read GREAT things about this set. Pepe will be able to confirm if my understanding is correct. Careful though it is our beloved Abbado:fergus wrote:Moussorgsky: Boris Godounov / Gergiev [1872 version]....
