What do people think of the Shifrin/Rosenberger version of the clarinet sonatas?

I just love anything with Reginald Kell, including these Brahms works.
The Violin's Obstinacy

It needs to return to this one note,
not a tune and not a key
but the sound of self it must depart from,
a journey lengthily to go
in a vein it knows will cripple it.

I have his record of the sonatas with Horszowsky. But the sound on my transfer isn't very good.

I play a record with Harold Wright and Peter Serkin most often. It's very good music I think.

I have long had Karl Leister and the Amadeus-Quartett on DG 139354 (LP) and have always though it was very beautiful. Sorry about that.
I was never sure what to get on CD. I have Boris Rener and the Quatuor Ludwig on Naxos, which is OK, and I also got Gervase de Peyer and the Melos Ensemble, which is very good.  I don't like either as well as the Karl Leister/Amadeus Qt. recording though.

Then I found Reginald Kell and the Fine Arts Quartet, which is quite wonderful. It is my favorite for this piece, also for the Mozart.

I said no derping. If you disagree with my evaluation of some of those recordings just say so, but in the spirit of objectivity.

Perhaps if so many performances are so horrible and dull and dreadful you just don't like the piece.

Fascinating... can you compare this with the Kell/Busch recording? That one has been the benchmark for me.

I think Leister/Amadeus is very good as well.

Alas, no. I have never heard the Kell/Busch recording. I wish I could afford every recording that I think might be good, but . . .
