From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

Re: Best Recordings of Mozart's Piano Concertos

166.102.96.24

Perahia's set was a Penguin recommendation as was Brendel's. I like Perahia a lot in various recordings I have. Most of his Mozart is excellent. Still, I don't think he was superb in the K 467. Other people on here also criticized some one or another of his. Also, Sony is in the process (rather slow) of reissuing its older recordings in SBM or SACD or both. I believe most of these Perahias are from the 70's so they're not bad, but, will they be reissued? You, bet. The question is when?

The general drift of a previous discussion on the music asylum was that it would be better to cherry pick these concertos rather than to buy anyone's complete set.

Some names mentioned were Serkin in the 20th, Kempff in 23 & 24, Casadesus in some, and there were others.
