Heretoforegoing, minus #26 of course, are the rest of the great Mozart piano concertos
One suspects that Mr. Rubinstein, in the cavalier fashion of his generation, didn't think them great enough to record. Nothing galls like the 19th and 20th centuries' ignorant and captious judgements of Mozart. Still, piano concerto number 26, in D Major, isn't very good--there's evidence, I think, of it's being some anonymous hack's reconstruction of an incomplete score--and it serves, at best, to illustrate what the vast mass think Mozart sounds like. It is, to be sure, Mozartean, but it ain't Mozart.
