I heard Argerich's Mozarto concerto on Teldec among them.  She plays No.2,
Rabinovitch plays No.19 and both play No.10.  Actually I have just lended
out to my friends, so please allow me to make some mistakes.

I felt that Argerich's performance was rather lighter than I expected.
I could not specify whose cadenza she is using, but I enjoyed her "solo"
performance anyway.  That part sounds much more spontaneous than with
orchestra.  Overall she did not really drive the orchestra up as she did
in the past concerto recordings, I felt.  I am not quite moved.

It was interesting to hear that Rabinovitch's performance sounded like
Argerich in 1970-80s.
