Let me know how that recording sounds! It looks very good.
I just picked some older recordings including these: Schobert Quartets, trios and sonatas; Mozart Divertimenti k. 334 and K. 247 - L'Archibudelli; Mozart Grande Sestetto Concertante - L'Archibudelli; Haydn Paukenmesse - Bruno Weil, Tafelmusik, Tölzer Knabenchor; Boccherini Fandango - Savall, Le Concert des Nations.
Interestingly, Schobert is supposed to have been an influence on the young Mozart, inspiring him to write sonatas for violin and keyboard. Masolino's recording ties in very nicely with this one.

The Cirpriani/Ciomei recording shines on my modest portable Stax,
so I am sure you will be gratified by it as well when you get it. I
have many of the recordings you listed above and they are invariably
first rate (or better). Even the ones I don't have yet - the Schobert
and the Boccherini - are either a long-standing classic or a new favorite among
many. Maybe you will indulge us by writing a more detailed review
for each so people will be lured into buying before some of them
disappear. (The L'Archibudelli Mozart discs are not all that easy to
find already if I am not mistaken. ) As an OT quip on the side,
I am also listening to a Mendelssohn quartet box (3 discs) recorded
by the Artis String Quartet. They do not use period instruments and
one can hear it quite distinctively, but the interpretations had won
several awards and are recommended almost unianimously by those
whose opinions I respect. I don't know whether one can get it (on the
Accord label) right in the US but don't let it pass when you see it.
