Isn't there also one recording On RCA Victor (blue, gold, & white
historical label) from the early 50's? about 1953, 1954? I know it is no
longer in print...  and my copy is in New Mexico so I cannot check it from
my place at Morning Star Ranch.  I believe there was a fourth recording on
LP that never made it to CD...  I haven't seen a Landowska recordings list
in a long time.

They are all excellent, but I would rank the 30's 3rd, 40's 2nd, 50's 1st.
The sound is far from great on all recordings.

She certainly did one of the best "Inventions" recordings.
