Thank you very much for the links. I listened al three movements from beginning to end. Very good performance (of course), and very good recording too. By the way, the best thing I know from Radu Lupu is the way he plays Schubert’s piano sonata D 784, first movement.
As for Mozart concertos, you may find even remarkable this Dutch performance dating from 1974 or 1975, I think, of K. 248:

Hello Arend,
Good to hear from you. I will take time to listen to them tonight. I have the Mozart Piano Concertos played by Barenboim and I will be glad to listen to other performances.

Great. One detail: I said K 248 where the correct number is K 246.
I’m sorry to say that I have always found Barenboim curiously un-inspiring in his Mozart concertos. Almost any other pianist seems better when it comes to this music, with Maria João Pires (especially K 488), Vladimir Azhkenay (esp. K 595) and Alfred Brendel as three of the greatest – I mean, in the 1980s when I was discovering this music and enjoyed it more than anything else. I should also mention Maurizio Pollini’s K. 459 with Karl Böhm: this was in fact my first effective introduction to the marvels of Mozart. Surely more stars have risen since then whose rise I haven’t followed. I now hardly listen to Mozart at all. It has become too familiar to me – and as you know, there is so much more. I took a Radu Lupu to get me hooked again!

I am only now beginning to get more familiar with Mozart. I know his operas better than his piano concertos, so I can be forgiven for the fact that I listen to his concertos played by Barenboim.
