because unless I make a special case for it... it probably won't get listened to before March??

ah yes, let the dust settle.

One of the big gaps in my collection is the fact that I don't -- or rather I didn't until now -- have recordings of Haydn's Piano Sonatas so I bought this set which has Christine Schornsheim playing harpischord, clavichord and fortepiano; on listening to a small selection of performances I must say that this is a very interesting set.

Hi Fergus,
You have a PM

There is some very lovely music to enjoy here. One thing that I like about this set is that as the music moves along so does the technology i.e. a harpsichord, clavicord and fortepiano are used for relevant time periods. One regret that I have is that I do not speak German as disc 14 contains interviews with the artist and I am sure that I am missing out on bucketfulls of insight. I am positive that you will enjoy that set Seán.

I really like what I have listened to so far.

An Amazon bargain. Another day and another set of discs. This is a 3 cd set of Mozart's Haydn Quartets No. 14 - 19 performed by the Quartetto 'Perfecto' Italiano.

Thanks Jared, I have bought a couple of second hand sets lately and they are in good condition too.

This is my secoond Beethoven Trio cycle and I was reminded to get it after Jared's post re the Haydn Trio set by the same forces:

^^ please let us know how you get on with it, Sean... :-)
