That's an interesting acquisition, Fergus. I have the latest Abbado CD in my sights, let us know what you think of that CD please.
I love those concertos Seán and I am always open to different versions of them.

I picked it up 2nd hand for £24... the set containing only the sonatas is presently £22.99 on Amazon, so I thought I got a good deal...

it was the addition of the Choral Fantasia which sold it to me... ;-))

I, too, have a Brendel Beethoven Sonata cycle with the 5 Beethoven Concertos, the orchestra is the CSO conducted by James Levine.
