Sorta related question. What do people think are the best concertos from the Hyperion Romantic Piano Concerto series?

Henselt, Bortkiewicz (an imaginary version not Coombs) Rubinstein 4th (Hofmann's not Hamelin's version), Paderewski. I'll think of more later.

But it is a concerto.  :)
Is it, really? Not a set of variations for piano + orchestra?  (rach's paganini rhapsody)

I have no idea how we can produce an exhaustive list of the "greatest" anything in music. I mean what should the criteria be?
