If you're reading this, I'd love to hear your comments about these selections!
I can attest to the Medtner and Shostakovich recordings, which I own, but I'm interested in the Rafal Blaechacz Debussy/Szymanowski, Manuel de Falla, and Beethoven Trio albums. Also, has anyone heard the new Beethoven Complete Trios performed by the Trio Wanderer on Harmonia Mundi?
