Jon Manasse's recording of the Weber concerti on the XLNT label are
among the best I've heard (and having managed at a company with access
to 20,000+ classical CD's in one place, I've heard many). Possibly
out of print, but by far the most musical recording of Weber #1 I've
ever heard, is Stoltzman's on RCA Victor Gold Seal. It doesn't have
the other Weber concerti on it, but the one that it does have makes
it worth every penny (not to mention a whiz-bang show-off rendition
of Rossini's Intro, Theme & Variations -- really fun).
