Naxos, in my opinion, does a splendid job with chamber music of the Romantic and later time periods. I'm not so enthusiastic about their chamber discs from the classical period. >So, where does one go to for the "American?" Perhaps others have >suggestions; I haven't found one I yet like (maybe it's the piece). It might well be the piece, because there are a good number of excellent versions - Prazak on Praga, Stamitz on Bayer, and the Panocha on Supraphon are just three highly idiomatic choices.
