Peter Friedman

Violin Concerto No.4, K.218 & No.5, K.219 "Turkish"

A seriously outstanding album.

Schumann - Piano Quintet Op.44 & Beethoven - Piano Trio No.3, Op.1/3

Jon Davis is a new name to me. He is a good jazz piano player.

Good playing by Herb Geller

Haydn - String Quartets - Op.77/1, Op.77/2, Op.103

I have these CDs with Roman Schwaller: Three Generations of Tenor Saxophone - JHM 3611 Joe Haider Quintet - Magic Box - JHM 3601 Joe Haider - Bert Joris Anniversary Big Band '92 - JHM 3603 Klaus Weiss - Salt Peanuts - Bell 84018

Didn't care much for this. It struck me as lacking warmth and unswinging.

Ken, I am in complete agreement. When I see an album by a musician with ALL originals, and with no track record as a composer, I am highly unlikely to be interested in wanting to aquire that recording. A good friend who was a fine jazz piano player once said to me that only a limited number of people have the "composer gene".

Dvorak - String Quartet No.11, Op.61 and Mozart - Piano Concerto No.15, K.450
