I share Dave's opinion.  Paisello's piano concertos might not hold up well
to Mozart's, but I think they are on the level of Haydn and Dussek.  These
are the kind of works where I'm glad to have one fine version with no
desire for another.

The ASV can be bought as a set or separately.  I think ARTS has also
recorded the set with Spada - two separate discs.  Apart from some Schubert
piano discs, which I got on a list member recommendation and wish I hadn't,
I have no ARTS recordings.  Any good releases in their catalog?
