I haven't heard it, is it as good as:

 

In my case the positive corona pandemonium fruit were quite many musical discoveries out of which the most important (and surprising!) one is this guy (16-44):

 

 

Just wow!

Both recordings are outstanding. And, maybe, by different reasons. Take both...)

Agree.

 

Freire Chailly is one of the best modern recordings of these masterpieces, and has maybe a slight edge for me over Gilels (actually more over Jochum, it's the orchestra) in no. 1. 

 

But the Gilels Jochum album was considered an absolute reference for decades.

 

Particularly in no. 2 Gilels really shines. And while the recording is pretty old (1972), the new 24/96 remaster is actually relatively decent with regards to SQ. 

 

Here's my review of the Gilels album:

You'll find some more of my thinking around the two Brahms concertos and other favorite versions here:

Did you add his last recordings of Beethoven's sonatas for DG - covers are too small on your picture? Gilels didn't complete the whole cycle, however those he made are excellent.

Here is a larger photo of it, does this help? I only am listening to this album, I added nothing to the list.

Thank you. There are many Gilels albums on your previous photo - at the bottom. My mistake, I decided it was your selection for listening as well.
