Hello all,
I heard the "Archduke" piano trio live recently for the first time and I'm looking to pick up a recording that contains this piece.
I'm hoping to find a recording that's at least a strong 9/10 in both recorded and artistic quality. FWIW my taste in Beethoven leans towards schneiderhan (violin concerto), brendel (selected sonatas, piano concerto #5), pollini (piano concerto #4), karajan '62 (symp #9) and the new budapest quartet (string quartet).
So far the records I'm considering include the Du Pre/Barenboim/Zukerman, the Perlman edition and the countless Beaux Arts Trio versions (why are there so many anyway?!).
The Cortot/Casals/Thibaud recording (yes, even the remastered version) is OUT due to an unacceptable amount of surface noise which makes it impossible to enjoy over headphones IMO.
Bunnyears, DarkAngel, daycart1, scottder - all the classical regulars - any recommendations you can give would be much appreciated!
