FWIW, I believe that that Diabelli is available on SONY. I recommend getting their transfer, as they have access to the original tapes. The 109 was also released on SONY, coupled with superb versions of 3 other sonatas. Music and Arts hasn't impressed me as of late with their transfers.

Thanks for that excellent input, George . . . . . . . You've earned your consulting fee . . . . . .  :D

Thinking about Beethoven in bed just might slow you down you eager beaver!

Mozart, you might be interested in the companion disk, Making Out to Mozart . . . . . . .

Its the Mozart effect, its proven to make hot naked girls on the beach unbeleivably attracted to you. Its science.

Worthy companion volumes to Drooling to Dittersdorf, Pawing to Pachelbel, and Hanky-Panky by Handel.

Helios (the GMG member) opines that Schnabel's recording of LvB PC #4 "is unmatchable."  Has anyone else heard this recording?

I listened to it yesterday, but I only had one ear on it.  :-\

You can get it through Naxos for less money, coupled with the 3rd.

Val opines that Gulda's reading of LvB's piano sonatas (complete) represents the pinnacle . . . . . . 



And this REVIEW

I should have read Michel's OP.

Just for a bit of fun - what CD from your collection should be an absolute no brainer for someone building a collection? It must be an absolute personal gem, and one you would be willing to give to someone if they could only hear one piece of music in their entire life.

Instead, I only went by the title of the thread. I am now going to remove my posts and rethink the question.

Gulda is sure an inexpensive, no-brainer, solid set, but something that I'd give to someone if they could only hear one piece of music there entire life? I am not so sure.

Yes, another case where the thread title can misrepresent the real thrust of the thread . . . . . .

I had a great one for Hummel, but this is a family forum.  ::)

In that same vein, I think I'll pass on revealing the CD title for Engelbert Humperdinck . . . . . .  :D
