Please don't all say Perahia. Only recordings of the complete set.  If i forgot some, put em down.

Didn't Rubinstein record the complete set? I thought he'd recorded Chopin's entire works. Or something...
I might be talking rubbish about Rubinstein, but Boris Berezovsky has recorded the complete Etudes and it's one of my favourites.

Pff, I really have never heard a really perfect set.

But then again I also prefer the Godowsky studies. The originals sound so naked and bare in comparison.

Rubinstein avoided the etudes because he did not feel comfortable with the technical demands.
