I attended a Gerard Souzay recital with two high-school friends - all three of us loved it. (And as I've mentioned before, Souzay had Dalton Baldwin play three Debussy Preludes as a solo interlude - I appreciated the accompanist getting some unexpected solo time!) I got Souzay's Philips recordings of Schubert's Schone Mullerin and Winterreise, Schumann's Dichterliebe, Beethoven's An die ferne Geliebte, and later (when he was a bit too old) the complete Faure songs with Elly Ameling on EMI/Pathe (five LP's IIRC).
As for the Emperor Concerto, I did not get it when I first heard it, if you can believe that! It wasn't until years later, when I guess I heard some better performances, that I grew to like the work.
And finally, as for Sophia Loren, I have to confess: I had the hots for her when I was in high school!
Follow Ups:
I didn't connect with the Emperor Concerto until just a few years ago, when I played the Perahia/Haitink version on a system that really activated my listening room and seemed to bring the full weight of the orchestra to the walls, even at a relatively normal volume.
Ms. CfL had it for awhile. I'm sometimes a bit ambivalent about Perahia, but that Beethoven set with Haitink was excellent.
