I have Katsaris' recording of that concerto, but I also a CD of what may be a fourth concerto in E minor played by Jennifer Eley:

4 concertos?? OMG... are there any other hidden works by mendelssohn.. he is the most underrated composer! (same about his sister)

If I'm not mistaken, the A MINOR concerto was a youthful student composition?

Mendelssohn also wrote two piano concertos for 2-pianos:  one in A flat major and the other in E major.  Both are very Mozart/Hummel-esque.
