Indeed.  Also, do not miss Anievas' EMI Forte with the Chopin B minor
sonata, Liszt's sonata, and Rachmaninoff's complete preludes plus
additional piano music, on EMI 69527 2.

That Brahms LP (I have gone through two copies of it, with a third mint
copy on reserve) is in my private Hall of Fame of piano recordings.  I
should transfer it to CD myself, just in case EMI doesn't.
