Re: favorite recordings of Brahms 2nd sonata

My favorite recording of the second sonata is Harold Wright and Peter Serkin, available on Boston Records. The Karl Leister/Gerrard Oppitz (spelling?) recording on Orfeo Records is nice, although his dynamic range is somewhat limited. I think the Stolzman/Goode recording on BMG is a must listen as well. No matter what you think of Stoltzman, it did win a grammy so someone must have liked it (which doesn't mean you have to- but its worth a listen). Even though this piece was originally written for clarinet, its also worth a listen to some of the viola recordings, if only to get some fresh ideas and to make fun of viola players. I enjoy the Zukerman/Daniel Baremboim recording, although I don't know the label and can't find the recording at present.
