Well, I guess his pirated recording with Stokowski on YouTube, or his CD-only recording with Litton, will suffice.

Speaking of the recording of Watts and Litton playing my favorite concerto (MacDowell's D minor), here it is, finally uploaded to YouTube in all its glory!

Does anyone remember when Andre Watts was a special guest on the children’s television show, Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood? The topic of the show was "making mistakes" and the interview with Andre Watts was pretty extensive and he played a few pieces. I watched it again recently and the lessons he gave can be applied to adults as much as children.

I can’t find it on Youtube, but if you have Amazon Prime Video, you can watch the entire episode:
Air date: May 7, 1987
Episode # 1579 "Making Mistakes: A Visit with Pianist Andre Watts"
