Decca seems to favor the Brahms Piano Concerto #1, and there are no shortage of spectacular recordings of it! The Curzon/Szell, Rubinstein/Mehta, all have their stake in the canon of recorded history. Here is another great one with near perfect rapport and approach between Julius Katchen and Pierre Monteux. Incomparable sound by Wilkinson!

Note: I'm a collector, not a dealer. The reason I'm selling is to downsize my collection. Every record I offer was hand-picked based on its merits on music, performance, and sonics (not necessarily in that order!). I will list recording credentials such as producer, engineer, venue, date, etc. as I believe as an educated buyer, these will offer crucial info for an unfamiliar record to make a buying judgement. Hope you'll find this useful!
