He recorded the concerti, but alas, I cannot remember with what orchestra. Perhaps our colleagues can help. For other recordings though, I recommend that you check out the Nocturnes of Chopin as played by both Rubinstein and Ivan Moravec. These two recordings are priceless in my humble opinion. Kevin Sutton
