What do you think are the definitive recordings of the two Brahms Concertos?

I like Cladio Arrau's recordings of both. I really dislike Barenbaum's recording of the second.

Arrau's Brahms first
Gilels' Brahms second with Jochum (one of the best recordings ever)

Kapell for the 1st
NOT the Gilels/Jochum but the Gilels/Reiner (FAR superior).
