But Naxos also announced a complete recording of the Haydn piano
trios 5 years ago.  That too seems to have vanished without trace!

Who can understand the way Naxos operate? They seem to make decisions
on the fly to me.  For instance we often find they issue things like
Grieg's Noctures volume 1 and 2 which suddenly metamorphosis into complete
piano music volumes and and two without of course any change to labels.
However perhaps it is because of this rather than inspite of it that we
love Naxos so much.
