thanks for the recommendations. initially newbee, i was pretty much listening to chamber, but borrowed a cd of chesky's anniversary edition and was very impressed by rachmaninoff's piano concerto 2. i'm just a begginer, so cds bought were mostly "the world of...." from decca. i'm trying to get a copy of the goldberg variations, unfortunately, classical cds are rare in manila. i would also like suggestions for sonatas, especially violin. thanx to all...
