I am looking for some recommendations. My current set of the sonatas (Argerich/Kremer) is really very good from a performance point of view but suffers from the typical mediocre DG sound. I love the recordings in my car, but in the house they are pretty week and thin. It requires an effort. I’ve also ordered the Mutter set, but again, its DG. My favorite violinists are James Ehnes and Hillary Hahn, but they have not recorded these works, so I need some help here. I’d like your favorite recordings of the works (individual sonatas or complete sets) regardless of vintage and also some recommendations of recent recordings featuring good performances with excellent sound. Thanks.
Rpeluso...yes. I don't think its available any more. I was led to it by Harry Pearson of "The Absolute Sound". There are many good ones...(I play them well too) however I always gravitate to Kuij
Schubert, I can't find the Decca set. Do you have a catalog number and recording date? I do love the DG set with respect to performance. By the way, I picked up the later Milstein Bach set on your recommendation. It is very, very good. Better than his set from the 50's.
