Recorded in Mozart Hall of the Konzerthaus, Vienna in 1965.

This date and venue are from the SU 3583 notes. However, VAI 1092 lists the following track dates: Ballades 1-3: 1967, Ballade No. 4: 1966, Mazurkas: 1969. Also, Philips 456 910-2 lists 1966 for Ballade No. 4. Where there is no obvious way to resolve discrepancies, I usually accept the source with the most complete data - in this case, Supraphon's.

Notes from CS 2021

Ivan Moravec taped both sonatas in September, 1969, in the large Manhattan church used by the Connoisseur Society for most of its piano recordings. During his subsequent Italian tour he performed both sonatas in a recital which was also recorded. Hearing the edited tapes from the New York sessions and the “live” recording of the Italian recital, Mr. Moravec felt that, while the New York recording is as close to his own standards of perfection as it is possible to come on a record, the “live” Pastoral, despite a few wrong notes (actually about four in the actual performance), had a spontaneity and sweep that made it a more compelling performance than the one taped under studio conditions. So, at the last minute in the production schedule, Mr. Moravec requested the substitution of the “live” Pastoral in place of the studio version, and, since the recital tape met the Connoisseur Society's technical standards, the producers were happy to honor his request. (For the record, an American Steinway was used for the New York recording of Les Adieux in the empty church, a Hamburg Steinway in a hall seating about 1,200 for the Pastoral.)

VAI 1096 says that these pieces were recorded in 1970 with 'Les Adieux', but gives no other information. It seems unlikely to me that Moravec recorded the Beethoven twice in two years. So I leave the 'Les Adieux' only in the 1969 New York session, where Supraphon places it. However, I finding no other likely sessions for the Brahms, I list those pieces here.
