There's something very special about Quartetto Italiano's recording of Milhaud's string quartet No.12

Every time I listen to it I am more and more convinced that there is no better recording of the Beethoven Piano Concerto no 3 than Annie Fischer and Fricsay . Her playing is so magical especially her pianissimos.

Hurrah for the internet - having got to know this through a download only - Amazon france had a Japanese seller seeling a Tower Records original of this coupled with the Mozart Rondos for only a tenner . Age no doubt but it means a lot to have a physical version of this great record .

This marvellous performance is in the excellent Volume 1 of the Ferenc Fricsay orchestral collection on DG.
I've kept quite a few LPs for sentimental reasons. Just like you I've hung on to my LP version of the Beethoven,in this case on Heliodor, and there are quite a few other treasured discs including Richter's DG recording of Schumann's Fantasiestrucke Op. 12- never surpassed.
