Having spent the last several weeks listening to a handful of performances, so far my favorite recording is by Claudio Arrau with the Staatskapelle Dresden and Sir Colin Davis. My second choice is Uchida.
Also, I bought the one by Maria Joćo Pires with Daniel Harding and the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra which is just so-so IMHO at present... but I plan to give it several more auditions. Also, I don't care for the Brendel/Rattle recording -- which is just too cerebral pour moi.
Please share your favorites of this concerto.
