Trio Fontenay's complete Brahms Piano Trios are (or were?) on Teldec Ultima 8573 87792-2. I don't have the Apex numbers but they are the same performances. The advantage of the Ultima set is the 2-disc format. If you like the Brahms Piano Quartets don't miss the Hollywood Quartet collection on Testament SBT 3063. Glorious and almost unsurpassable, in fine mono sound which reproduces well even on very revealing systems.
Help with Brahms CD's
I have a recording, on the Teldec label, of his first Piano Trio by the Tro Fontenay. I love that recording. I noticed that Fontenay have all three B's piano trios on a label called APEX. Anybody know if these are the old Teldec recordings, or are they new?
Also this trio recorded Brahms's piano quartets for Teldec, and I can't find this one anywhere.
Any info. on these would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve O.
