I am minded to add Argerich's stupendous recording of Zarebski's Piano Quintet to the list . It is exquisite .

Lovely piece, didn't know she had recorded it. I have Jonathan Plowright and the Szymanowski Qtt on Hyperion, quite a recent issue, sounds v good to me.

It is in the 2011 Lugano chamber music box. The Plowright received very good reviews here too .

The Lugano 2011 box now available at a very low price if you can wait for postage from USA ...

The 2012 Lugano box is pretty sensational too .

It includes a performance of K381 for four hands with Argerich and Pires no less ! They are utterly dazzling .

What a delight an album of music for four hands from these two would be - or K365 with Abbado and The Orchestra Mozart.

This thread is a spin off from Beethoven Quartets. What chamber music recordings would be on your ipod at the mythical Desert Isle?

A Brief list of Mine:

Mendelssohn Octet-- Music from Marlboro
Shostakovich Piano Trio #2--Ax/Stern/Ma
Rahms Clarinet Quintet--Martin Frost
