Hooked on Chopin
The best perfomances of Chopin's piano concertos in my opinion are by Zimmerman and Argerich. Who is Fou Ts'ong? I never heard of him.

Symphony Recommendation
I have a remastered version of Von Karajan's recordings of Beethoven symphonies and it sounds great. The only thing, it's a bit pricey ($60 or $70 for a set of 5 cds). Dvorak's 9th is best performed by Nikolaus Harnoncourt And Royal Concertgebouw ...
