The 423665 is with the London Symphony Orchestra, recorded 1984 while the
447438 was recorded in 1967 with the Berlin Philharmonic. On my Argerich
recordings page, I link to reviews for most available recordings, including
these. A Gramophone reviewer grumbles over what he feels are untoward
changes of tempo in the 1984 recording and people will just vary on that
kind of thing, with some preferring a more straightforward account, but a
more important point is probably that the piano sound is more vivid in the
earlier recording.
