Best accelerando in a pianorecording?

on: October 10, 2011, 08:01:58 AM

What is the best (and most surprising) accelerando you have heard in a pianorecording?

Some pieces become a lot more interesting if you add some accelerandos here and there.

Probably Bach F&F no 2 in the prelude section where i get faster in the presto section.

Or prelude # 10 in E minor. Busoni says you shouldn't accelerate at all towards the presto, which should be like a sudden 'spring' or something ( I am quoting from memory), but I don't think I have heard any modern recording without any accelerando. My favourite here is Richter:
