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.

Perahia along with Pollini are the best!

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

   I doubt that very much.

   I agree, they are so poeticaly and musically playd that it is hard to believe that he spent all that time training his fingers only.
