Yes yes, the Regenlied violin sonata (G maj) particularly (which I always
have to control myself severely not to sing on those lovely marble
staircases in public buildings), and the ones for cello which remained
beyond my technique to play though I did hear Pierre Fournier perform them
in the early '60's. But do you know the sonatas for clarinet or viola? still
trying to make up my mind which incarnation I prefer. As for orchestral
stuff, prefer symphonies 2 and 3. And do you know the two Serenades for
small orchestra? Earlyish works, and scored without violins -- lovely tone
and texture, and there's a good performance by the LSO under Istvan Kertesz,
on Decca.
My heart's with chamber-music, really, except for the odd choral work that
I've sung in, particularly Bach.

Bath doesnt have a concert hall so music here is mainly chamber. The only
big things are choral like tomorrow night. But I have got fed up with string
quartets and tend to avoid them nowadays.
I agree on Brahms 3 which is nearly as good as 4. I think I have reached my
limits on Brahms now.
My last purchase was Gretchen Peters on which she sings Paul Simons American
Tune for ambiguously 9/11.
