Agreed.  There are an increasing number of fine period instrument versions
of Beethoven's piano concertos to choose from.  Add to the mix all of the
excellent modern instrument versions, and you have a potential library fit
for a king and queen.

Immerseel also recorded a very good set of the Mozart piano concertos for
Channel Classics.  I think that it's available as single discs and as a
full set.  My recommendations of Mozart piano concerto recordings should
be taken with caution; I've never heard a recording I did not like.
