Best Beethoven op.57 recording

What's the best recording you have heard of this piece, and please keep Barenboim out, yes his is great, but everybody has heard him play it.

I mean I feel that Gould does some really strange sh*t, but this was just painful for me to listen to.

I vaguely remember listening to a recording of Gould playing the 3rd movement and it was quite good, but what is this?

Oh Glenn!

I am a fan of his moonlight
I think my favorite of the ones posted so far is the Gilels
Gould plays the first movement at the tempo that I am able to play!
