Edvard Grieg
Piano Concerto
Ivan Moravec, piano
The Philadelphia Orchestra
Christopher Keene, conductor
live broadcast, October 19, 1984
I've no other info about this save that it is Ivan's debut with the Fabulous Philadelphians.
Links for this in comments, as customary; if you enjoy this, I must suggest
something that has given more enjoyment with each listen,
from the Czech recording company Supraphon's
collaboration with Mr. Moravec:
Live In Brussels
He plays the Beethoven Pastoral sonata, Some Chopin mazurki, nocturnes, the Scherzo in B minor and a few of his Brahms lagniappes, always twinkling with a watchmaker's focus and brilliance.
As it is an official release, very reasonably priced and relatively available,
here is the link to see it and buy it if you wish

With that, I have no other comment than I love Ivan Moravec.

Jack brought the Grieg concerto to symphonyshare, and I couldn't but share- A thousand thanks Jack!

You will go to see Moravec play if he comes remotely within driving distance of your location.
Saludos Guillermo, y gracias por la grabacion de Moravec. I second the driving instructions - like Vermont last Spring: the man still plays circles around pianists half his age. Any idea of source of these mp3s? Hopefully it was originally taped by the Philadelphia orchestra, and might transfer to CD in higher fidelity.
Denis, that's all I know about the source, on the post: a friend got them out to me, taped from a radio broadcast. Hopefully the Philadelphia, Chicago and all the other houses that Moravec has worked with will put out the original sounds...
I missed him in Princeton last year, though lack of decent information from that venerable institution. Shan't happen again.
That is not Ivan Moravec, unfortunately. He doesn´t play Grieg concerto and never did.
@ Jacob: Hi Jacob, I'm disturbed by your comment- How are you sure of this?
Hi Jacob,
Read the review of the concert at the archive of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Enter "Moravec Grieg" in the search engine:

The date of the concert is 10/19/1984
Hi,
I´m not 100% sure. I´ve just listened to the recording and I must concede it really can be Mr. Moravec :-) I will try to ask him or his wife after some concert or recital as soon as possible. It is strange that no official recording of him playing Grieg concerto exists.
Update: Denis has confirmed this recording's authenticity through Ivan Moravec's family.
Now if only the orchestra or record company would release a pristine sounding copy, I can post the link to that. Until then, we have this as an appetizer for other recordings by this undeservedly low-profile pianist.
Thank you for new informations and let me say I´m sorry for my first comment here. Next time I will listen before I´ll post something :-)
(Someone has put a fragment from Moravec´s Prague recital on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEtGusnVMto !)
