(Seconding Liquorice's nomination of Tale Ognenovski).

Since we're supposed to give reasons, here are some of mine:

1. Ognenovski's iconoclastic orchestration, which most scholars suggest is a hybrid of historical performance practice and his own style. (One thinks of Mahler's Beethoven orchestrations--a pairing of this Mozart with some Mahler/Beethoven would undoubtedly make a satisfying evening).

2. His legato fingering is inimitable.

3. Staccato passages are rendered with striking rubato--an obvious departure from the more pedantic versions littering the web.

4. The photo montage, which is carefully synchronized to the music, was well ahead of it's time when first produced in the early 1980s.

5. He takes all of the repeats--including many that have been lost to posterity, and are so arcane that musicologist have yet to argue them. This is therefore an example of a version that creates discussion, in the most intelligent sense. Just as it is difficult to interpret certain pieces by Copland in a way too far divergent from Bernstein's readings, so sympathetic to composer's aim are they, so we feel a need to incorporate the musical mind of Ognenovski when performing Mozart once we have heard his version of the Concerto--even if we are playing in the pit for Cosi. There is a certain symbiosis between Ognenovski and Mozart which transcends the centuries.
