Re: Favorite recording!

Salzo -

Yes, I have Delecluse's Septet. I haven't listened to it for a long time, though. I also have his Brahms Quintet, which I have never gotten around to playing, and his Milhaud Trio, which is great.

Norman -

I like Kell's Saint-Saens, but I think his tone and laid-back style don't bring out the humor and brilliance that Delecluse finds. I have the de Peyer recording, which I haven't listened to for ages. If it was made before he quit practicing (as in some of his later recordings with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center), it should be excellent.

By the way, everyone should hear de Peyer's Shepherd on the Rock with Beverly Sills and Charles Wadsworth. Sills's voice is badly worn, but her breath control and musicality are all there. GdP is superb, and musically I think it outclasses even Valente/Wright/Serkin and Schumann/Kell/Reeves.
