I'd be careful ...  most of the young performers - Kissin comes to mind -
play the 3rd way too slow.  They also use the turgid alternate 1st movemont
cadenza.  I'd find a way to listen before buying.  On the other hand, if
the price is right, maybe your local library could use the CD.  That's
where my Kissin 3rd went.
