I suspect that's 2 discs, right?


One published work.  Two different pianists as part of mixed recitals on two different discs.

I didn't know that, really. It's a Clair de lune, I think? Heard about it, never heard it.

Yes.  It's a really rather excellent work.  I think there are seven commercial recordings out there.  More pianists really ought to take it up.

That's a different topic.  :D

And if you put it in terms of "combined labels", I think I also have the complete Faure and Liszt, possibly Tchaikovsky too.

For Harry, the list will be shorter to simply list the composers he does not have the complete works of.  :D

The point is that 'complete' is a bit relative, by closer inspection!

Of course it is! I was thinking more in terms of boxsets labelled as such.

FWIW, of my Top Five composers, I have the "complete" works of Mozart, Chopin and Rachmaninoff plus the "almost" complete works of Schubert and Tchaikovsky.

And now that I think of it, I also have the complete Naxos Edition(s) of Johann Strauss, Sr., Johann Strauss, Jr. and Josef Strauss8)

I am too lazy to make a list, but a few baroque composers with very little surviving works (e.g. Nikolaus Bruhns) Also, I have the Complete Mozart box. Elgar has some obscure small works I don't have.
Spatial distortion is a serious problem deteriorating headphone listening.
Crossfeeders reduce spatial distortion and make the sound more natural
and less tiresome in headphone listening.
