I just bought a recording of his 1st and 3rd piano concerti a couple weeks ago. Can't say I like the 1st that much, haven't listened to the 3rd yet, but certainly Field's accomplishments deserve a high standing among the composers of that era.

The piano quartet is COMPLETE!!!


Please note that I will not review the following without a very good reason:
1) MP3-only posts: no score + outside link = bad deal. Especially true because I'm on dialup when at home.
2) Shoutbox or PM spam: excessive shameless plugs get very annoying very fast.
3) Pieces written in a short time or with little effort: if it's not worth the composer's time and energy, then it's not worth mine either.
