My favorite concerto played by my favorite classical pianist with my favorite Philharmonic Orchestra and my favorite conductor!
Evgeny Kissin is pretty young here and he plays this much better later in life.

I love classical music without knowing what the pieces are called or the composers. I've loved this since i was a child and it's only recently i found out what it was. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNbXuFBjncw

The early symphonies certainly, I especially like the London, so evocative of city life, much as Gershwin's An American in Paris was 30 or more years later, but even the Pastoral has echoes of The Great War and the fourth is a lot darker. There was an excellent rendering by the Philharmonic Orchestra (I think) on Radio 3 a couple of weeks back.
