Thanks. I read you reaction on the Rach 3 Project thread.

Marin Marais.
Pieces en trio pour les flutes, violon, dessus de Viole (1692)
Musica Pacifica.

Excellently played and recorded. Marais music is in good hands with them. For the modest outlay this is self recommending.

Britten - Complete works for string quartet



This set takes "complete" to breaking point. The three numbered quartets suffice for some, but this includes three discs filled out by lots of obscure and enjoyable works.

CHOPIN | The Ballades
Arthur Rubinstein

Lise de la Salle plays Bach & Liszt:



Right now listening to Liszt's beautiful Sonetto 104 del Petrarca. De La Salle is more convincing in Listzt than in Bach, although I bought this disc (about 4 years ago) mainly for the Bach/Busoni stuff.
