(5 out of 5 stars)

"Legendary, indeed! These interpretations of Mozart's best piano concertos are, along with Kempff's recordings of Nos. 23 & 24, my all-time favorites. Serkin, at the peak of his powers here, plays with sparkling warmth and eloquent tenderness, with crisp articulation and perfectly chosen tempos. The accompaniment by Alexander Schneider and George Szell shows wonderful rapport with the soloist. Sony has done a fine remastering job; the sound is warmer and cleaner than on my original LPs. These discs are a bargain at twice the price. Get them before they go out of print again."
