@bdp24 Yes. Thanks. I'm familiar with the Starker. I may go for the original Mercury some day. I'm not a fan of AS reissues finding them a little processed for my taste. I have an adequate Tortelier on HMV.

@noromance ,

Just a suggestion..... try your MyMat under an AS record.

I have never understood the hype over the Starker discs.  I have the Speakers Corner reissues, and I greatly prefer the Pierre Fournier recordings on Archiv, both musically and sonically.
