Does anyone like those >piano concertos? 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. Richard Pennycuick [log in to unmask]
