It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

That's a tough one

I love Zimerman in every other Chopin piece, but not the piano concerti, and especially not his second recordings on DG. The reason is his strange "fussiness" with dynamics and tempi in the gorgeous poetic moments, especially in the 1st mov't of the first, and the 2nd mov't of the 2nd. My favorite for the first is Perahia on Sony/CBS Masterworks, and my fav for the second is Davidovitch on Philips. Delicate, perfectly-poised playing.
