Mendelssohn: Piano Trio No. 1 In D Minor, Op. 49
Mendelssohn: Piano Trio No. 2 In C Minor, Op. 66

This is probably my 3rd or 4th listen to these pieces now so they are beginning to become embedded in my memory - they are pleasant well composed pieces with tranquil Adagios.
The performance is good and the sound generally fine if not slightly boxy. These are becoming amongst my favourite Piano Trios.

Mozart: Piano Concerto No. 16 In D Major, K 451
Mozart: Piano Concerto No. 18 In Bb Major, K 456
Mozart: Piano Concerto No. 19 In F Major, K 459

This was my first pass through these fine Piano Concertos and I am now on Disc 4/8 from this set. I have been slow progressing through these recordings and am still at the cursory listening stage due to my recent interest in chamber music. First impressions are good although I am still at the stage where i cant really tell the Concertos apart yet! - These still appear to be very fine works. Listened twice to this selection due to lack of concentation on the first pass through!.
