I'm up for possibly hosting another one. I was thinking of Haydn's 45th, Farewell Symphony. I think I currently have 15 recordings of the work, and what I believe would be interesting is to see how the mix of modern and period instruments fare in the comparisons.

Would anyone be interested in a comparison of recordings of Schoenberg's Violin Concerto?  I have several and could get one or two more to facilitate comparison, but I have to know that there's some level of interest before I jump in.

But are there enough recordings to warrant a blind comparison?

I have four on hand, and I could easily get a few others.
