  1. Ach, too bad about op. 26, but many many thanks for these!, which in my opinion are true gemstones of chamber music.

    1. The Horn Trio is OK.but the others left me cold (positively dislike the Clarinet Qnt)...never played the big DGG box of his chamber-works..
      Thought the groove-crackle was confined to the start - but it's throughout - doubt I could just use the LH groove wall - and definitely am not prepared to while-away days, individually removing each 'crackle'..and the transfers already have EMI's noise-reduction: so a double-dose would kill the sound; assuming it removed the fault..

  2. Many thanks for all the Busch Qt transfers. Now I can retire my Japanese Angel LPs.
