It´s propably the best of his later recordings. I prefer the way Horowitz played in the 30:s and 40:s though  ;)

1941 Rach 3 with Barbirolli-the Scriabin 42/5 is a fine choice or the many recordings of Scriabin 12/8 that possibly only the composer completes with for a total reading of that etude.

His 1941 recording of Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3.

1951 Rach 3? I also very much like his Mephisto waltz and all of his Scarlatti recordings

Chopin sonata in B flat minor? even though it is not his greatest recording it should be up there somewhere.
