Recommended artists albums for WTC and Beethovens complete sonatas?

on: April 05, 2008, 03:29:59 AM

Hello!
Does anyone know which album of complete Well tempered Clavier and Beethoven complete sonatas I can buy? Who are the good interpreters of such works?
So far I have Daniel Barenboim's WTC book 1, fredrich Gulda's WTC book 2, and Claudio Arrau's Beethovens. What more?

I like Schnabel's beethoven. Unsurpassed in my opinion. Eunice Norton's Bach is brilliant.

Hi, I really like Angela Hewitt's interpretations of the WTC.
AS for the Beethovan I have the Gerard Willems complete sonata (a 9 disc set) which are excelent.

Richter or Glenn Gould for the Bachs and Schnabel or Arrau or Kempff or Brendel for the Beethovens.
