Audphile1:
Don't know what you have, but f.w.i.w., here are my favorites:
Tchaikovsky and Borodin: 2nd string quartets.
Faure: Piano quartets.
Bach: Well-tempered Clavier, Goldberg Variations, Partita no. 2 for Violin (the Chaccone movement is the most amazing thing i've heard for solo violin), Cello Suites.
Beethoven: Middle- and Late-period sring quartets. Piano sonatas.
Haydn: String Quartets, opus 33, 50, 64, 76.
And last, but not least, my favorite composer of chamber music,
Brahms: Violin sonatas (3), Piano trios (3), Piano quartets (3), Piano quintet, Sring quintets (2), String sextets (2), Clarinet quintet, trio, sonatas (2).
Won't list my favorite recordings of these, as that sort of thing is so personal (e.g.: I don't like period instruments, but you may).
Hope this helps,
Steve O.
