I think these, as a set, are right near the pinnacle of classical music, along with Beethoven's Symphonies, and Beethoven's Piano Sonatas (and, for me, Sibelius's Symphonies).
Two other discs that you should consider are Moravec's recordings with AOSMITF (Marriner); unfortunately, they are full price as well. However, with Goode/Orpheus, Brendel/Mackerras, and Moravec/Marriner, you can likely put together the best performances and the best sound possible in the Piano Concertos.
I would like to follow that up with a fortepiano set, but I may have to wait for Brautigam, given the mixed reviews I'm reading for Bilson and Immerseel.

I listened to some clips of the Mackerras/Brendel discs that have been mentioned, and they sound very very good, especially the orchestra. But they really are expensive. The Goode discs are alsi intriguing to me, but are also expensive and not yet available as a set. There are a lot of options, but I haven't decided on one yet that has convinced me enough to make the purchase. -Jay |
