Unfortunately, this single disc is marked >as volume one (shudder). Andrew is not alone in this view; at least two reviews I read were of similar mind, although none of them was "shuddering." I have to provide a dissenting view. I like the Chandos, Simax, Kontrapunkt, and the new Naxos. Yes, the Zapolski do round off the musical edges - sounds good. The Oslo highlight those edges - sounds good also. I think that the string quartets can handle both types of interpretation, and I appreciate both. At any rate, when the next volume from the Zapolski comes out, I'll be acquiring it quickly. >By the way Don, have you heard Comotio (for organ). No I haven't. But I'm sure that I will in the near future. I just want to finish up on my appreciation of the piano works before I hit the organ pieces. Which recordings of Nielsen's organ works are recommended?
