Hi guys, I am a new comer to the classical forums and would like to gain some knowledge from the more seasoned classical experts on here. I love piano music and have a great collection of Martha Argerich, Krystian Zimerman,Pollini and Horowitz playing Chopin,Lizst etc but I am looking to buy great recordings of Mozarts Piano Concertos and was wondering which artist is best for his type of music?? I have seen recordings by Serkin, Argerich, Perahia, Horowitz, Shiraga etc and would like to know who is regarded as the definitive recorder of Mozarts concertos? and any particular cd's to try and buy for my library?
I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
many thanks
Fergus

I have complete sets by Perahia and Brendel and a set on Brilliant Classics. All good.
Also period instrument set by Levin which is interesting
The best is by Serkin but not a complete set - but these must be heard - not the DG when he was in his dotage but the Sony recordings
Have lots of other performances which are quite special.
