Help on recordings

[rachmaninova]

Hello!

I'm starting to work on the following repertoire:

Bach - Prelude&Fuge in F# Major form WTCII
Scriabin - Etude Op. 42 - 5
Liszt - Waldesrauschen
Beethoven - Sonata Op. 31 - 3
Liszt - La vallée d'Obermann

and I wanted to know which recordings do you reccomend for each one of this works.

Thank you!
Carla

Hi,

#Bach - Prelude&Fuge in F# Major from WTCII
I like Gould's one.  Richter's is also good

#Scriabin - Etude Op. 42 - 5
Richter's and Fiorentino's recordings are my favourite.
technically speaking, Gavrilov's is also  good.

#Liszt - Waldesrauschen
I don't like this piece, which is why I don't know.

#Beethoven - Sonata Op. 31 - 3
I like Pollini's and Wilhelm Kempff's.

#Liszt - La vallée d'Obermann
Horowitz is Go(o)d. 
But for learning this piece, it might not be appropriate to listen to, because he arranged some passages. 
Brendel is also an excellent Liszt-interpreter. 

I hope it helps you.

Ciao!

#Liszt - Waldesrauschen
I don't like this piece, which is why I don't know.

I don't like it either, but my teacher forced me to accept it... 
Thank you for your help!
