so what are your "must haves" in your chamber music collection?

Do you mean CDs, or sheet music?

listening materials in particular

Anything recorded by the Beaux Arts Trio is well worth listening to, as far as I am concerned.

I agree. Also - Empire Brass' "Class Brass" (1989) is excellent.

Center City Brass Quintet did a great CD with a huge number of brass quintet standards, and it's really well done. Ewald, Bozza, Calvert, Arnold...

Boston Brass' Young Fogies is great as well, if you have any interest in brass quintets attempting jazz.
