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....

Thanks Fergus.

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:

Robert Schumann
Piano Quintet in E flat, Op. 44
Piano Quartet in E flat, Op. 47
Beaux Arts Trio
Menahem Pressler - Piano
Isidore Cohen - Violin
Bernard Greenhouse - Violoncello

Dolf Bettelheim - Violin (Op. 44 & 47)
Samuel Rhodes - Viola (Op. 44 & 47)

Lovely music, beautifully played.

Quintet for Piano, Clarinet, Oboe, Horn & Bassoon in E flat major, KV 452
Klára Würtz - Piano
Henk de Graf - Clarinet
Hans Meijer - Oboe
Martin van de Merwe - Horn

Lovely music, I am particularly fond of Klára Würtz's playing.

I do have that set Seán; I was a fairly recent purchase and was my first full length version of the opera.
