But they're all available on Qobuz, so I'm not missing them at all.
I am, though, signed up for the newsletter, just for the info about all the new releases.

^ wow, listening to the Ropartz piano trio now, superbly atmospheric! Thanks for that, Paul. I'm sure I remember you liking another bit of Ropartz I played too, Jerry; I think it may have been his string quartets, which is a 3-CD set. Ah. Well. I don't recall that. But listening (again?) to the string quartets now, and they are very good!

First chance I've had to listen to the Tangent Piano - I must confess I had never heard of one; it really does sound like a hybrid of harpsichord and modern piano ... I might have to try this on the big rig in spite of it being Mozart!

The jury is out on Franck for me.

Franck's violin sonata is totally sublime, that work alone puts him among the greats for me.

Not listened to it in some time but is a great excuse to indulge in La Buniatishvili once more....

The Seasons quest continues.
I'm very impressed by director / violinist Kati Debretzeni in this 2014 Age of Enlightenment recording. Really finely judged performance and tone.

Quite entranced by this album of "chamber music" by Khachaturian - some genuine original chamber pieces, but also some transcriptions of the big orchestral works. Full of quirky Armenian rhythms. Works really well for me!

The Scottish Fantasy is wonderful but why they have to include all that other stuff ... Nuff said.
