    Does the appearance of Peter Schreier on the Firkusny et al version imply a vocalise or does he have talents that I am unaware of? I have the Suchárová-Weiser/ Vlach version of the quartets and am happy with it, but do not have a version of the quintet so this will interest me, especially if the quintet is the work to be reviewed. Giltburg/ Pavel Haas and Richter/ Borodinseem to be the ones that interest me most (I don't do downloads so Curzon and Schiff are out of contention for me).

        I noticed that as I was compiling the list, but forgot to deal with it. Well spotted, CMP.

          Well - I'm still waiting. I received an auto-reply, saying how much they appreciated "comments", but on closer inspection, I noticed that that was an old message. It makes me wonder whether they'll even read it, never mind respond to it. Maybe if I called myself Harold of Cirencester, requesting a follow-on piece for Essential Classics, they might wake up?

          But maybe I should just wait until tomorrow's Record Review, when they may tell us what the next BaL will be.

              Seems more likely to me that the key is correct and the confusion is between quartet and quintet.

                That's what I thought - after I'd sorted out the recordings for the quartet.

                  The Brilliant box is titled complete concertos; Rudolf Firkusny, Ruggiero Ricci, Zara Nelsova are the concerto soloists and I suspect the quartet is a filler with uncredited players. Does anyone have the box to confirm?

                    We will here undoubtedly when the Bal is broadcast. I hope Martha Argerich and co do well. I do have a penchant for her artistry.

                      It wil be the quinter - Andrew McGregor has just announced this and I assume he has been given correct info.

                        Yes, he did say "quinter". I had to replay it several times.

                            The Quintet was one of the first Chamber Music lps that I owned (Peter Serkin with Mischa Schneider and several of the young Guarneri Qt. Players) but I don’t think I know the Quartet at all. I might stream it this morning

                              It doesn't appear to be generally available, and one bright spark is selling a new copy at a silly price!
