I used to know Marcos Klorman, producer of this disc and owner of Desmar. Haven't seen him since the '80s.

Chuck - I know practically nothing about Desmar, other than the fact that they made a few recordings with Stokowski.  Did they record classical music exclusively?

Most of the catalog was made of historic piano recordings. I still have LPs of Busoni, Harold Bauer, Josef Hofmann, Lhevinne and an anthology with Brahms, Debussy, Grieg, etc. I remember a stunning disc of Liszt by Ervin Nyiregyhazi (hope I got that right). He also recorded some chamber music discs of little interest to me.

Didn`t remember these performances being that subtle and meaningful - possibly my understanding of Haydn`s music evolved btw  reached a higher stage .... 

[paul secor]

I haven't heard as many Haydn quartet performances as some here have, but the Mosaiques always seemed to sing and soar for me.
