Dear Jeroen,
I have a DGG Lp of Karl Leister playing the Brahms trio, with the horn
trio on the other side and it is the same that is in the DGG CD set. This
recording was made in 1968. It sounds like the trio version you have on
LP is newer: what label is it on ?

As an aside, I personally like all the early recordings Leister made
better, mostly because of his sound then. Not that I do not like his
sound now (I have lots of his recordings), but his earlier sound seems
more flexible, clearer, with more edge-well...more French...
