beethoven piano concerto

Recently listened to Lang Lang's recording on Beethoven piano concerto 1 and 4 and liked the music a lot.

Can someone suggest some good recordings that excel both in sound and performances? LPs would be great but CD/SACD/hi-res files are welcomed too.

Thanks

you would really enjoy the Fritz Reiner/Horowitz recording of the "Emperor" #5 in E-Flat. A truly inspiring performance when the Chicago Symphon yaws at its peak under Reiner and Horowitz was also playing so brilliantly. The recording is shockingly good and the CD version sounds good. If you value performance over sound you will love this one.

Just acquired a good copy (LP)of Edwin Fischer playing and Wilhelm Furtwangler conducting Beethoven's 5th piano concerto. A really amazing version well worth hearing.
