beethoven piano concerto

I don't normally think of Arthur Rubinstein with Beethoven but for the fourth piano concerto under Eric Leinsdorf it works, and very well with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. It is available on both LP and CD. Emil Gilels also did a splendid version live with Orchestra A. Scarlatti di Napoli della RAI with Massimo Pradella available as a two disc set on Melodram Live Recordins CDs. Steven Kovacevich(Bishop) also has an outstanding version of the 4th, London Symphony Orchestra, Sir Colin Davis. Hope that is at least on start on the fourth.

Another vote for Steven Kovacevich's 4th. In fact, Phillips has a 2-CD set of the first four Beethoven concertos by Kovacevich and all the performances are quite good. Sound is also good and the set is inexpensive, so you can give it a try without breaking the bank.

If you want LP, there is a great box set of live performances of all 5 concertos played by Alfred Brendel and the Chicago Symphony, conducted by James Levine. Fantastic performances!

Many thanks guys. I will check those out.

Any other worthwhile recordings? Keep them coming?
