For which work do you have the most multiple recordings and how many are they?

I believe LvB's late sonatas currently take the prize for me - must be >50 for each of the last five.  I actually don't know for sure.  All I know is I need more.

I have about a dozen of the Eroica, so it's time to cull the least interesting ones.

I think it's both Beethoven's op 109 sonata and 5th symphony, with 6 recordings each. I did a fairly serious cull about four years ago: I used to have over 10 recordings of each of the late Beethoven sonatas.

Beethoven's 9th Sym - 18

Nothing else close, since I don't collect performances. Maybe half a dozen of any one thing...

Twenty-Nine Moonlight sonatas.

Perhaps we should post our favorites as well?

Mine is a tie: Annie Fischer and Bernard Roberts.  8)

Reading the above proves that I do not have too many versions of anything. I have probably a dozen of Rite of Spring, Chopin Etudes, and less than that of Gaspard de la Nuit, Chopin Four Ballades and Mahler 9.

I'm going to sit at the side and watch, since I am just not in this league.

(Although I may have more copies of the Shostakovich Fourth Symphony than Harry has of any of the Glazunov symphonies . . . .)

If it helps, I can record 110 on my home piano and send you a CD. I can do most of 111, but the boogie-woogie variation is a bit beyond me.

Yes, there were enough diamonds in that rough to make it worthwhile. 6 to be exact. His Op. 90 and 110 are also among of the best that I've heard.
