... an amazing bit of research, o Alpensinfonie! Many thanks indeed. (I hope French Frank is paying you enough... )

I used to love this work, but perhaps I've now heard it too many times, and for me at least the magic has worn off.
Perhaps this BAL will rekindle my enthusiasm

Indeed, yes. My pay is doubled every month.

I used to love this work, but perhaps I've now heard it too many times, and for me at least the magic has worn off.

I'm look forward to getting to knoe the work better. I hope we have some clips of the versions played on the arpeggione, an instrument I've never heard.

[Don Petter]

Many thanks for all the above, but Pristine's catalogue seems to have been overlooked again. They have the classic Emmanual Feuermann & Gerald Moore performance from 1937 (PACM036), which used to be available on Pearl.

(As before, I have no connection...)


Also Harrell and Levine on RCA is still available as a download from Amazon.uk - Does this count?

[Bryn]

I wish they would issue this recording on CD. I have the Deletaille/PB-S but it was the Storck/Kontarsky which first alerted me to the sound of the arpeggione.

[gurnemanz]

This disc is a classic and I won't need to look elsewhere for the time being:

... Bryn - many thanks for that clip - the Storck/Kontarsky does sound exactly what I want!

- Meanwhile I expect I shall have to 'invest' (as I explain to Mme V) in various of Vermeulen/ Springuel - Demus/Irnberger - Immerseel/Bylsma - Badura-Skoda/Deletaille - Giacometti/Wispelwey

Absolutely astonishing playing - one of my favourite chamber music discs.

Robert Philip with a personal recommendation from recordings of Schubert's Arpeggione Sonata

Trio:
Trio Dali

No, this should be under the Cello & Piano heading, played by Christian-Pierre La Marca and Amandine Savary, members of Trio Dali. It is on a 2-disc recording on Fuga Libera which includes both Piano Trios, hence the confusion.

Many thanks for the info, IGI. I've amended the list.

[BBMmk2]

I am surprised that Mischa Maisky has not made a recording of this lovely work?

s usualEA,a brilliant piece of research here, to which all us members are extremly thankful for!

[amateur51]

Seeing that enormous list (many thanks EA ) made my heart sink - how will s/he choose? - but then I saw that it is to be Robert Philip in charge. What a treat!

Has anyone read his book about performing in the age of recording?

[Thropplenoggin]

[verismissimo]

I had for years the Shafran recording, which I loved, but it seems to have gone the way of some old vinyl.

Now I have nothing at all - so roll on Saturday.

I'm secretly hoping that one of the arpeggione recordings does well.
