Beethoven - String Quartets Op.18/1, Op.18/2, Op.18/3 - Smetana Quartet

I love their version of the late quartets, must check this out

Beethoven: Piano Sonatas Nos. 30-32, Maurizio Pollini on Deutsche Grammophon (UCCG-51085).
This is last year's SHM-CD with HR Cutting from the DSD mastering from 10/2011 by Emil Berliner Studios used previously for the SHM-SACD.

Happily, this is considerably more pleasant on the ears than the 1987 double CD.

That Charpentier disc looks interesting ... the sheer amount of CDs I still haven't heard almost drives me crazy.

Now playine some Wilhelm Friedemann Bach keyboard music:

Guy Penson on Ricercar (no image on the web)

Maude Gratton on Mirare

Both include a misattributed piece - Penson a set of Variations by Hiller from an obscure 19th century anthology, Gratton the c minor keyboard fantasy that many fell for although it is known since the 1970's that it was composed by Wilhelm Hässler. Playing-wise, both are among the best, but one should ignore the booklet notes of the Gratton disc which reproduce old clichés about the composer's life and personality long corrected by recent research.

p.s. turns out I have the Charpentier disc ..... I've been buying too much over the years, it seems.
