Maazel was quite good in his younger years.

That stuff gets a bit relentless after a while. Time for some Beethoven.

I love that set, Perahia'a playing is sublime.

Completely agree about Perahia's playing, I think it's just about perfect for this music.

Gosh, you listen to me! Somebody listens to me, I must tell my kids, they will be amused. I am delighted that you enjoy it. Perahia's Bach and Mozart Piano Concertos are wonderful too. In fact, Perahia is damn near perfect in my book.
