Blown away by Chopin Piano Concerto No. 1

I was blown away by this concerto, amazing music, I thought no music could come close to the hungarian rhapsodies by liszt, but this proved me to be wrong, it is full of feeling, its music which speaks.

What is the best version ever recorded for this concerto (CD/LP), which pianist, I tried to search for it in one of the hi res formats , I couldn't find anby, is anybody aware if it is available in such format as welll.

I second the Gilels/Ormandy. The CD is, ok, a good British pressing of the LP is better. The American pressing, as always with Columbias of that era, is barely passable.

However, the performance, the performance, the performance! All three were “on” that day.
