These famous recordings now only appear to be available from Universal Music in a huge boxed-set of Beauz Arts recordings, so here they are on their own.
One of Pentatone's reissues in surround-sound of Philips originals - here they are unfortunately only in redbook stereo. Nevertheless, the recorded sound is very fine and beautifully captures the poised playing and musicianship.
