I think so.

After listening to one of Babbitt's pupils, I thought I'd return to the teacher. Haven't listened to this in a while--whew--it's intensely contrapuntal, but not really too gratingly dissonant. Two orchestras deemed Babbitt's piece unplayable, so Schuller put together a string orchestra to prove them wrong. The live recording has some extraneous sounds, but the actual recording quality is quite good.

Beethoven - Late Beethoven
Piano Sonata No.30, Op.109; Bagatelles Op.126 & 119; Piano Sonata No.28, Op.101 Ishay Shaer, Piano Orchid (2017), via Qobuz Excellent work from this young pianist, and a nice recording.

Offenbach: Le Papillon - Ballet en Trois Actes
London Symphony Orchestra, Richard Bonynge conducting Decca (1973/2013), from the box set “Decca Sound: The Analogue Years” Not terribly serious, but very pleasant listening.

Schubert: Fantasie 'Wanderer'
Now some solo piano music,
Schubert: Fantasie in C major, D760 'Wanderer' Schumann: Fantasie in C major, Op. 17 Maurizio Pollini Very melodic piano music supplemented by a weighty recording. Here is Gramophone's take on it. I think they like it Quote:

My monthly dose of Mr de Sainte Colombe:
8 CDs in 4 sets. They would go with me to the desert island. This is Volume 4.

I think the painting on this cover must be the most over-used in the classical realm.

No.4 from this new 3-SACD (only) set from Japan. Fabulous playing and sound. (CDJapan is the cheapest source--around $90 plus shipping)
