Brendel + James Levine, 1997, Emperor: absolutely reasonable tempo, no irrational fleeing from random percussion instruments.

So far:
Brendel + Schubert == best ever.
Brendel + Mozart == hot damn, let's have an Uchida-off.
Brendel + Beethoven == wouldn’t kick him out of bed for eating crackers, but not competitive with Serkin or several others.

My obscure opinions, let me show you them.

@ceejbot Brendel + Schubert > Uchida + Schubert? Well. Hmm.
@grahamsleight I feel that the difference is epsilon.
@ceejbot Fair enough, will bear that in mind as I work on my proof of the Riemann Hypothesis.
