    1. I thought-so, too...& reasonably popular, I suppose.....................................
      Put into mono due to low-frequency disturbances - and the Piano got better-balanced.
      The same team are in the 1952 Prades Schubert Trio 2 - nice transfer on the excellent circa 1960 Philips GBL series (with some other early 50's)
