For me Janos Starker melted better with György Sebök in this euvre .... what do you think .... ?

I haven't (yet) heard the Starker/Sebok set, but based on your comment, will do so within the next few days or so. 

However, I do very much like the Starker/Buchbinder set.

Not my favourite Bruckner 5 reading by far, but an interesting view on this euvre nevertheless ....

O.K.  I'll jump on the Moravec bandwagon too.   

Coming up momentarily: Chopin's Preludes, Op.28, as heard on this "Classics Record Library" set:

Maestro Carlo Maria Giulini slow things down considerably, but what a way to wallow in Brahms ....

... heartfelt Brahms. My favorite. Klemperer is a bit to cold for me compared with 'Giulini'. The Emi set is my favorite and i love the Dgg recordings also.

Suk is one of those violinist i can't go really wrong with. Found this for 50 cents yesterday.
