Are there any modern recording of Mozart that managed to surpass Alfred Brendel or Murray Periah?

Refer  to my previous post on the previous page for a great Murray Periah Mozart recording. I don't know enough about classical to answer your question, but it think you would enjoy Ray Chen, Mozart: Violin Concertos & Sonata. OK its is mostly about the violin, but Christoph Eschenbach plays memorable  piano on tracks 7 & 8:

7. Sonata for Piano and Violin No. 22 in A Major, K. 305: Allegro di molto5:10

8. Sonata for Piano and Violin No. 22 in A Major, K. 305: Tema: Andante grazioso, Variations I-V, Variation VI: Allegro.   Eschenbach can be a bit uneven, but  this record (CD) is a really refreshing take on Mozart  & Ray Chen (violin) really shines.

Daniel Barenboim, The English Chamber Orchestra - Mozart ‎–Piano Concerto No. 14 In E-Flat, K. 449; Piano Concerto No. 15 In B-Flat, K. 450. EMI/His Master's Voice ‎– ASDM 2434, NZ 1968.

 

@LHC I don't find this 1968 recording too dated at all, but I don't have Barenboim's later recordings of Mozart for comparison.

Speaking of Daniel Barenboim, he has just very recently started a Youtube channel with videos sharing his insights into listening and appreciating music. Here is one of him talking about Mozart.

Got this on special at Thomas's in Melbourne a while ago - sad to hear they're closing down.

A nice addition to my collection of Haydn Cello concertos, but with the added bonus of the  CPE Bach Cello Concerto in A major - a piece I hadn't heard before.

I remember going through a couple of these GZ pressed vinyl and still noisey. Cleaning didn't help.

 

Received my replacement copy and its as fcukenn noisy as the first.      I give up, refund time.  pity, as its a really nice album ruined by poor quality control and GZ digital.

 

My review is up on Amazon

It is really an unfortunate release, his erased tapes recordings were better although I wouldn't say very good...

I've been looking for a decent recording of these Chopin variations. This arrived today. Very nice.

Found another version of the Chopin variations that I prefer more.
