He uses those in his excellent Mozart Concerto series of course... seek out the LvB booklet notes on BIS for a discussion with Brautigam about piano choices... a striking feature of the Beethoven series is the placing of the piano (sans lid) in the heart of the orchestra. It really does have a uniquely beautiful effect, and that performance of the 4th is truly sublime...
Yes I have 1 and 3 and they are excellent performances in their own right, and I agree about the placing of the piano, it does make a difference. I think I just hankered after a period Beethoven concerto cycle from him, and having got a few of those wonderful Mozarts makes that wish even stronger !
