If we were to focus our listening and acquiring of jazz recordings to revelatory items, I suspect our shelves would be very very very limited in number of CDs / LPs. It reminds me a bit of a friend who said he only wanted to listen to the jazz giants such as Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Lester Young, Bird, Monk, Coltrane and maybe a handful of others. I could never buy into that kind of thinking.

Beethoven - Op.18/5 Mozart - Symphony No.25, K.183

Not sure what you mean by document-y?

Symphony No.3

String Quartet No.7, Op.107

Dvorak - Piano Quartet No.2, Op.87

Disc 1

My SACD copy has a different cover.

Eybler - String Quartet Op.1, No.1 Rachmaninoff - Piano Sonata No.2, Op.36 / Moment Musicale Op.16, No.2 / Prelude Op.35, No.2 /

Though I admit to being biased, it strikes me that , with only rare exceptions (none of which come to mind at present), when Barry Harris is on a recording it is a good one.

Op.76/1 and Op.76/2 "Fifths"

D.959

String Quintet

Bach - English Suite No.6 Weingartner - Serenade for String Orchestra & Der Strum Overture and Suite

Symphony No.8

Op.51 and Op.64/1

I would quickly add - very good playing by Barry Harris too.

Eybler - String Trio, Op.2 Schumann - Piano Quintet Op.44

Sibelius - Violin Concerto - Oistrakh Ormandy

I located these 5 CDs on my shelves that all either completely or in part are from the Crescendo in 1958. Looks like I definitely do not need this new set.
