Recordings worth hearing
Ashkenazy / Previn / London Symphony Orchestra
ReferenceDecca · 1974
The first-movement cadenza is long enough to stand alone and among the hardest pages in the repertoire. Ashkenazy plays it clearly rather than showily, and the structure never goes missing.
Trifonov / Nézet-Séguin / The Philadelphia Orchestra
ModernDeutsche Grammophon · 2018
The most varied in colour among modern recordings, with a scherzo that never once lets up.
