You can't go too far wrong with the very first one - Ormandy/Phila.

Neeme Jarvi/RSNO/Chandos is very good too. Also, there is Rudolf
Barshai on Brilliant Classics, but you might need to buy the full set.
At Brilliant Classics' price, it's a very worthwhile investment even
if it does involve some duplication.

Well, the Chicago Symphony under Bernard Haitink plays it live at
Proms this Sept.9. Would suggest not missing that BBC Radio 3
broadcast !!

First half is with Perahia in Mozart Piano Concerto K.491.

Great program !!

The Barshai recording - surely recommendable - has been reissued on Regis.

Thanks, but it's too late. I purchased the full set some time ago.
