That's very nice of them to release these as a complete set but it is not the complete piano music of Bortkiewicz. I have those six CDs in their original release as 3 2CD sets and there are several works that Trapmann has not yet covered. Off the top of my head I can think of the Nouvelle Etudes op29 as a big ommision and since these CDs were recorded Vlaeva and Hyperion have recorded more recently discovered works like the Fantasiestuck and three Mazurkas. I hope Piano Classics aren't hyping it as the Complete piano works.

So it's complete by record label standards, and not dictionary definition standards.

:D :D
