Russian Chamber CD's

[Bogey]

Yup, this may cause an avalanche, but interested in what you have on the shelves that you truly enjoy.  I am sure some Agerich recordings will pop up and Shosty's SQ's, but dig around a bit and see what you have that may be off the radar, but should be had.  Strings, winds, trios, etc.

A few ideas:

[Bogey]

Added the Beaux Arts to my wishlist in immediate fashion.

Also be on the lookout for their recording of DSCH's Second Piano Trio.  And though I've not heard it, they also recorded Anton Arensky's piano trios.  I'd bet they are at least good.  When will UMG do the right thing and issue a big, honkin' box of all BAT recordings?

Not soon enough.

Do you have this one, Todd?

Weinberg Cello Sonatas

Glinka Viola Sonata

Myaskovsky Quartets (the whole thing)

[Dancing Divertimentian]

This might be too broad but I'm thinking anything by Prokofiev, his string quartets, violin sonatas, cello sonata, etc...

But narrowing it down a bit a good one-stop disc with a range of Russian works is this compilation disc with Kagan and friends:

[Dancing Divertimentian]

Speaking of Rachmaninoff, his cello sonata is extraordinary.

BORODIN String Quartets (2) unless you are offended by being reminded of Kismet
RIMSKY-KORSAKOFF: Quintet for Piano and Winds in B-flat and GLINKA: Trio Pathétique  for less common choices
and a repeat mention of  TCHAIKOWSKY: Souvenir de Florence and ARENSKY Piano Trio

[Florestan]

[Drasko]

and something bit more edgy

some of my favorite recordings of the pieces already mentioned :

Rachmaninov Cello Sonata - Gutman/Virsaladze (Live Classics)
Rachmaninov 2nd Trio - Svetlanov/Kogan/Luzanov (Russian Disc)
Shostakovich Piano Trio & Quintet - Leonskaja/Borodin Quartet (Teldec)

I'm also very fond of various Shostakovich plays Shostakovich chamber combinations.

Do you have this one, Todd?

I do not.  I probably should.

Bill - I'll just start at the beginning of the alphabet w/ Anton Arensky - own just over a half dozen discs - some of the 'chamber' performances below - there are certainly alternative CDs of these same works - Dave

It was only by accident yesterday, whilst researching something else, that I learned that this classic recording of the Shostakovich Cello Sonata was by a father-and-son duo.

Another in my growing list of 'cello abuse' cover art, by the way.  And pre-Photoshop, to make matters worse 

[North Star]

I like Wieder-Atherton & Cabasso in Proky & DSCH CSs. The Hyperion recording, Gerhardt and Osborne if memory serves me rich, of Schnittke should be great. Then there's the Richter/Kagan/Bashmet disc of DSCH VS & VlaS. Argerich with Kremer & al. In Proky VSs, DSCH PT, PQnt and Tchaikovsky PT.

[SonicMan46]

And to continue to the next letter - Alexander Borodin - need a couple recordings of that second string quartet -   Dave
