Rob. Casadesus/Columbia SO/G. Szell, both on Sony (the latter a 3cd box comprising 21-24 + 26-27 et alia). My taste also tallies with Sugar's re: Perahia. The Perahia version I particularly like is with the English Chamber Orch, part of a recording of the complete piano concerti.

There are 1991/92? Schiff/Camerata Academica of Salzburg Mozarteum /Vegh recordings of a number of concerti. Technically sound, they didn't transport me musically (I haven't heard the 21 in this version).

You might also try Oistrakh's Beethoven violin and contrast with Hubermann on the same piece... Cheers
