Do you know if there is a recording with those candenzas.

Thanks in Advance
The masterpiece tell the performer what to do, and not the performer telling the piece what it should be like, or the cocomposer what he ought to have composed.

i never heard of them. anyway, who would play these instead of beethoven's own cadenzas? especially since he has 2 of them for the 1st part.

Obviously, people do care about what Mendelssohn had to say about this concerto.
I don't think there's been such a recording yet, but if you eventually find out, do let us know! :)

I would. Mendelssohn wrote four different cadenzas for the first movement.
