Florestan Trio playing Beethoven Trios volume 2 (includes Archduke Trio) and Volume 4 and the Schiff, Perenyi Complete music for Piano and Violoncello are my latest acquisitions and both are terrific. I think the Schiff-Perenyi are as good as the Fournier-Kempf DG double cd, and with better sound quality! They also put the variations in between the sonatas so that people like me are not tempted to just forget the second cd with mostly variations.
Also, for the Violoncello that Perenyi uses, the sound is more basso than Fournier's cello and with a bit more resonance.
For the Florestan Trio, I have to say that this is for me, reference quality! It is that excellent. The interpretation is excellent and the sound quality is first rate. The recordings I got are available through yourmusic, so now I have to go to tower or Amazon to get the rest of the set (at higher price).
