which I'm quite fond of.
But it's out of print. Must not be that highly regarded.
There is now! Boy, the RCA labels on eBay are pricy! The EMI re-master even more so. I'll have to dig through some thrift store bins for that one.Thanks, Garrod.

performance. Why it's not TAS-listed I don't know. The "militaristic" passages in the last half of the Left hand Concerto are so life-like it's scary. Wonderful sense of hall.
jdaniel,
This one sounds good, too. Only one copy on eBay and it's pretty expensive. I'll keep and eye out for a better buy. Thanks for the recommendation.
There is much controversy among LP collectors as to the relative merits of Decca and London LPs. Decca could not use its name in the U.S., but their London LPs that were sold in the U.S. were also made by them in England (and later in Holland). Some (on the 'net notably Arthur Salvatore) argue that Decca LPs are not necessarily any better than, or even any different from, London LPs.
EMI and Angel is a different story, since EMI decided to have its American LPs manufactured in the U.S. by Capitol starting in 1957.
So if the Decca version is too expensive, try the London version.
Thanks, I'll do that.
