Originally posted by Petrushka View PostIt's an impossible, even foolhardy, task to pick just one from this lot. NK needs to choose a few, maybe half a dozen, that can realistically be serious contenders in their various ways and proceed to choose one in each category eg HIPP, historical, modern digital, LP era or whatever, otherwise it will be meaningless.
When it was done as a BaL in about 1979 I can recall that Curzon/VPO/Knappertsbusch 'won'. Wonder how it would fare today?
I've got many, many recordings on my shelves but my 'go to' for a long time was Perahia/Concertgebouw/Haitink.
Fleisher/Szell has been my mainstay for 40 years but I have always liked Brendel, first with Mehta and then with Levine

Brautigam/Parrott
Glemser/Weil (?)
Immerseel/Lamon
Immerseel/Weil
Levin/Gardiner
Schoenderwoerd
Tan/Norrington
Others?
Recommendations please!
My current choice wd be Schoonderwoerd/Cristofori.
Unreconstructed fans of well-upholstered big-band Beethoven will not like it at all...
