^^Me too, I just picked up Barenboim's set of Beethoven's Piano Sonatas, but haven't had time to play them.
You've got great taste Cyggy.
Cyggy, I agree with LG, and I can see that, amongst other things, you are going to be a very valuable asset around here for the small minority of us classical music buffs on CRF - Your son sounds like a true musician, do you play an intrument yourself? Apart from singing in a couple of choirs, I have to confess I am more of a collector and a listener than a player, though my wife is a professional orchestral musician (violin) which is where I got my interest from, I honestly didn't know my Bach from my Buxtehude until I met her! Plus I see you have the GREAT Edward Elgar on your list, also probably one of my 2 or 3 favourite classical composers, along with Ralph Vaughan Williams and Franz Schubert, which immediately promotes you straight onto my Christmas card list!!...
Beethoven

Ravel
Bartok
