[Alison]

Blimey, far harder.

I'll have to think on.

Is that last as in most recent' or last as in final?

Yes, I was going to say "Not yet"!

Most recent dearest.

[Petrushka]

My 'most recent' Beethoven was two complete Symphony cycles for my recent birthday: Kubelik's with 9 different orchestras contained in the Kubelik Symphonies box and Bernstein with the NYPO. Just got the 8th and 9th to go in the Kubelik, haven't got round to Lenny yet.

I think it was the Sony Tokyo Quartet box:



Difficult to keep track. I have the Decca Curzon boxes (the 4 volumes, not the single box) on order. They have several Beethoven works in them, but they have not arrived yet.

[EdgeleyRob]

Blimey,I honestly can't remember,but it was many years ago.

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Most recent dearest.

Oh, I can't afford those.

[Alison]

Shocking admission !

[teamsaint]

String Trios.

Zurich String Trio.

but it really ought to be the Quartetto Italiano complete SQs, given their current price.

[Pianorak]

The latest in the series of Beethoven Sonatas recorded by Jonathan Biss.

[Beef Oven!]

Christopher Hogwood, AAM, complete symphonies.
Emerson Quartet, complete string quartets (got by on the Italians, prior).
JEG, Missa Solemnis (I believed that the Hanover band was all I needed, for years)

[Bryn]

Christopher Hogwood, AAM, complete symphonies.

Blimey! Bit late to the table there, aren't you?

[Alison]

No recent scrowaczewski symphonies for you Nethers ?

[Beef Oven!]

Blimey! Bit late to the table there, aren't you?

Yes!

But better late, than never
