Superb Lisztians all three. :)
Give the Nojima on Reference Recordings a try if you want absolutely top sq. :thumbsup:

This was quite interesting and enjoyable. Post-Respighi Italian, and very much in that mold but with mid-20thC tonalities.
This was a surprise - soulful and at times intense. Orchestral with solo cello and violin. Yum!

I just love this series of recordings.
Amazing sq, too.

Some interesting (and vary varied!) works here. Just starting to explore this 4 volume album.
This is very good.

My 1st CD purchase in months! ... not available on streaming.

AliceH's playing hits the spot for me in these works.
Got home yesterday fancying some Beethoven violin sonatas, as one does.
For some reason my usual favourites did not satisfy; Nishizaki / Jando , Hudson / Verney. :(
Tried Kavakos, Menuhin, Stern, Perlman, Kremer, Kashimoto, Heifetz, Szeryng :nono:
Finally getting somewhere ... Imberger / Korstick were excellent, but didn't quite hold my attention for long.

In the end only Zukerman hit the spot ...
Barenboim as pianist was slightly preferred, but the tubby piano sound didn't suit.
Neikrug had the better piano recording, if not quite as imaginative playing as Barenboim.
So settled in, finally, to several sonatas from this set -->
Zukerman / Neikrug :thumbsup:
