104 is my favourite, maybe i need to liszten more to the others though.

You might enjoy 123, it's my favorite, always has been; Van Cliburn (I know you hate him) made a beautiful recording of it, as did Jerome Rose in his Complete Annees de Pelerinage. Yeh, Bolet was fabulous,

The only one I played was 104, so obviously ill vote for it.  My favorite recordings are of Tzimon Barto and Horowitz.

Don't know Barto. But the Horowitz is incredible. almost too much; he almost overplays the piece, but isn't better to overplay than underplay? Certainly in Liszt...

104 is my favourite, and the Horowitz 1950s recording ranks as one of my favourites too. But listen to Joyce Hatto and Frederic Chiu as well. If memory serves, Wilhelm Kempf gives an interesting, if different perspective of the music as well.
