I was going to recommend exactly the same two discs.

Did you lose the box? Want to borrow mine?

Ideally those two are the same, obvs. But pragmatically is the main thing.

Each of the two staves adds up correctly to two crotchets, a quaver and a triplet semiquaver (AKA two quarter notes, an eighth note and a triplet sixteenth note).

What isn’t beautiful is the price new old stock tapes go for, up to €300 for the best quality sealed cassettes. Yes that’s each, not a box of 10.

Still looking forward to Freire, but also Kovacevich/Davis, De Larrocha/Mehta and De Larrocha/Chailly. I’m going to start lacing all this with jazz, otherwise I’ll get Beethoven-deaf.

Didn’t get to Freire yet. But did Gieseking/Fluffy (good in some predictable aspects, but problematic), Long/Munch (surprisingly, no perversions - rather good in fact), Tan/Norrington, Arrau/Davis (magnificent playing and conducting, but you need patience, it lasts 40:35).

Many more to remind myself of.

Such a thing exists but I certainly don’t have it. (Cover from internet.)

Have also spun this which is extremely good.

That’s probably EMI? Then I have it in a Gieseking brick.
