Thanks!

24 is the most worth playing. And probably the most difficult of these.

24 is the most worth playing. And probably the most difficult of these.

I would agree on both counts, in fact I'm inclined to consider 24 one of the greatest works of all in any medium.  25 is certainly as difficult -particularly the finale- but that didn't make the OP's list!

Yeah, the 24th Piano Concerto is an absolutely amazing work. Glenn Gould's recording is amazing.

Glenn Gould's recording is amazing.

That I have not heard.  I've only listened to Gould's Mozart sonatas, and they are certainly a mixed bag, particularly his interesting take on the A minor.

I've always been partial to Anda in the concertos, there is something about his elegantly polished pianism which appeals to me.  And of course no surprise that I like Argerich in 25...

Completely agreed. I think his set is the best. It certainly blows Barenboim, Perahia, Brendel, and other complete sets out of the water that I have heard.

Gould's recording is truly amazing... you should def. listen!
