1. Consistently great sound engineering. 2. Stephen Hough, bach-meister Angela Hewitt (who is in the middle of recording what will be an awesome Beethoven piano sonata cycle), recently recording the Takacs quartet, and the new Steven Isserlis Bach cello suites that are supposed to be great. 3. Informative, beautiful liner notes and packaging. 4.http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/418PWXMA2VL._SS400_.jpg 5.http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/31ZFXZAJ7YL._SS400_.jpg 6.http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/619WREK131L._SS400_.jpg 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14.

Crap. That was a waste of space, anyway. the missing ones are: The Ockeghem collection, Messiaen's Vignt Regards sur l'Enfant Jesus (Osborne), Rachmaninov's Piano Concertos (Hough), Franck's piano music (Hough), Poulenc Complete Chamber Music (Nash), Faure Piano Quintets (Domus), Dupré's Organ Music (Scott).

Now on streaming services! Apparently, in addition to new releases, ~200 albums from the catalogue have been released; more to be added over time.
