Eschenbach did a nice Brahms cycle at Houston (on ci-devant Virgin now Erato)

Contents of these 2?
(And performers for that matter: those groups are unknown to me
)

Sure. Nevermind is a quartet that does trio sonatas, sonatas, other chamber pieces - the headliner is Jean Rondeau on harpsichord but I've also heard of flautist Anna Besson. Their previous album is Telemann.

The second disc is a Montreal-based outfit making its debut and apparently it's all chamber arrangements, tributes to, and remixes of Mahler, but detailed contents listings were not available.

You've answered the question that was immediately raised when I saw this set. The Cziffra EMI 40 CD set is amazing and currently out of stock. Used copies are selling from $400 upwards and when I consider how much mine cost I heave a sigh of relief. If you missed out on the EMI then definitely grab this one. I can't see a price anywhere.

There's one on discogs for $225, but that's about to become irrelevant. I have the old French EMI 10-cd box of Cziffra's Liszt / Chopin, will have to carefully study contents of the new big box.

Stumbled upon that Doeselaar-Sweelinck some weeks ago on Spotify, liked what I heard, and saved the mystical Ricercar on the ninth tone to my favourites list.

The same company have also rereleased his Anthoni Van Noordt CD, which for some reason I'm finding myself enjoying more than the Sweelinck.

I have owned her Goldberg variations, culled them. Rather unimaginative deliberate note-true rhytmically inflexible playing. And her harpsichord doesn't sound that period. You can hear some clips here (English suites recorded 2017):

Some biographic details:

I seem to have a knack for finding the most unimaginative and note-true performances!

Thanks for the links - impressed to find she's in her 90s, but the clips don't sound very inviting.

Only recently discovered this composer and heard some select fantasias from that CD. Good stuff! And as demonstrated by Bob van Asperen his music can sound great on a harpsichord too

Thanks. I know Rondeau, so that will be wishlisted.  The Mahler CD I suppose I'll let someone else be the test listener.

Thi may be of interest for us, who were disappointed with Valotti - and also of general interest:

Yes that's a good companion for Vartolo Book 2. Book 1 has never really caught my imagination.

I initially missed your post, but that looks promising. 

PS And the perfomances are on the famous Antegnati organ in Mantua, an organ built according to Cavazzoni's instructions:

Interesting! 

+1 indeed

Amazon France translated by Google:
Highlighting the richness of its catalog, Deutsche Grammophon presents a Chopin edition in 28CD with the assistance of the greatest pianists of yesterday and today, including eight winners of the prestigious international Chopin piano competition and many legendary performers of the directory.

The edition brings together rare recitals, bestsellers and cult albums, with several unreleased CDs (Askenase (CD 4), Block (CD 9), Czerny-Stefanska (CD 13), Karolyi (CD 17), Son (CD 24), Szidon (CD 25), Fou Ts'ong (CD 26)), a first international CD release (Harasiewicz (CD 16)), as well as the unpublished recording of Piano Concerto No.1 with Maria João Pires and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by André Previn in 1991. The CDs are presented in a prestigious case with their original sleeves.

Track/album listing

And yes, I checked. This means that DG had a Maria João Pires concerto recording which they knew about but did NOT include in the MJP "complete concerto recordings" and "complete recordings" mega box sets (where Concerto 1 is with Krivine and 2 is with Previn). So those are not complete MJP boxes and MJP completists are being to asked to buy this. What disorganized nonsense.

Hard to resist, although I have collected a smattering of both sets over the years.
