I am a huge fan of the Haydn String Quartets Op.20 through Op.77. I have heard numerous (mainly) recorded performances of all of them. Rarely a day goes by when I have not listened to at least one Haydn String Quartet. Here are my recommendations for the Op.50 quartets: Nomos Quartet Zaide Quartet Tokyo Quartet Leipziger Quartet Auryn Quartet

There are those who don't like LISTS. I am among those who do like lists. It gives me insight into the taste and opinions of others. Also as has has been stated, it may suggest some items that I have missed or overlooked. Hutch is a prime list maker as I have followed his previous lists of jazz favorites from specific decades. I very much enjoyed seeing his selections. It will take a bit of time to put it together, but I will post a list of some of my favorite piano trio recordings.

Op.18/3 and Op.18/4

Back when I was living in Rochester,NY (in what must have been the 70's) , Sonny Stitt with Don Patterson's Organ Trio played at a local club. I did go to hear them one night, but honestly don't recall any details.
