Felix mentioned his preference for Arrau/Haitink, and I also think it's
excellent. Other outstanding versions are Curzon/Szell on decca,
Gilels/Jochum on DG, and Schiff/Solti on Decca. I think that some list
members in the past have gone for Moravec/Mata on Dorian which is coupled
with the Schumann piano concerto, but I don't care for Mata's direction
(particularly in the Schumann).
I have a special fondness for Margalit/Thomson on Chandos. Many consider it
under-powered, but I find it very poetic with soloist and conductor in
excellent unison. It can now be found on a 2-cd Chandos Enchant issue also
having Mendelssohn's Capriccio Brillante, the Saint-Saens piano concerto no.
2, and the Schumann concerto.
For public consumption, my best recommendation would be Giles/Jochum.
