Comments         : I do not know if it is currently available but if not, it 
                 : would be worth looking for in used record shops. For my
                 : taste it is still the most interesting interpretation ever 
                 : recorded. His tempos are noticeably slower in the really 
                 : difficult places, but his playing is extremely musical. 
                 : Many players attempt this "Mt. Everest" of our 
                 : repertoire with the attitude of faster is better or "I'm 
                 : going to play it that fast because I can!" McCaw explores
                 : a musical side of this piece which gave me as a student,
                 : and now my students, things to consider in formulating a
                 : unique interpretation. I don't know what the best
                 : recording of the Mozart is these days, but I don't think
                 : the McCaw one is in the top few, From what I remember,
                 : it's a little bit faceless.
