HONEGGER Pacific 231 SCHERCHEN / Westminster W-LAB 7010
The "Lab" recordings were an early attempt at high quality recordings. Westminster picked shorter pieces, widened the grooves a bit, but most importantly, ended the cut about 1.5" to 2" before the label, so there is no tracking inner grooves and their higher distortion-- but you get less music. With less music and a higher price, it's no surprise they didn't sell that well. But these are some of the best mono records that you can find. Can't find a photo of the Lab cover, but here's their standard issue, which I also have and is a nice recording.

Dieter Ammann: String Quartet No. 2
Amar Quartett

This quartet employs all the extended string techniques and hyper virtuosity one expects of an avant-garde piece but with a sense of fun and wit one might not expect, over the course of its 15 1/2 minutes.

Copland on Westminster W-9727
A collection of Copland- sort of a greatest hits. These mono lp's often have great realism, and this is an example. It can be more like a seat 30 rows back than a stereo recording.

The day Aaron Copland died, I cancelled my lectures and had students listen to our lost American treasure.

"Richter in Italy" Angel 36104
A 1962 recording of Sviatoslav Richter's tour of Italy on a blue Angel label. If I had to chose only one pianist to listen to for all works, Richter would beat out Rubinstein by hair.
