I'm not mad about the second one, but I *love* the first.  I much prefer
a version played by Balint Vaszonyi which I have on an old Pye LP (c1970).
The piano playing is more outrageous and John Pritchard, usually a fairly
phlegmatic conductor, goes for broke with exciting results.  It did make
it to CD but I don't recall the label.  The Hyperion version is rather
restrained by comparison.
