If Delta took concerto movements from the Chopin competitions and these
concerti were the ones that appeared on Laserlight's series on Chopin
competition performers, then Harasiewicz plays Concerto #2 in f, while
Argerich plays the Concerto #1 in e (in a more cautious performance than
normal for her).

Since you like this music and the performers, you might want to try
the Laserlight set of 5 CDs from various competitions, which is also
inexpensive and contains all movements of the concertos.  It costs about
$17 at most places online.  Each CD sells separately for about $3.50
