Go for Brendel on philips or Kempff. These are the best ones IMO. I specially enjoy Brendel's performance.
Kempff+Brendel= GOD

I like Brendel's the best.  Glenn Gould's is a little dry IMO, but of course his fugue is awesome.  I also have Arrau - his is ok. 
When you earnestly believe you can compensate for a lack of skill by doubling your efforts, there's no end to what you can't do.

I have Yudina and Schnabel in this work. I wouldn't touch Brendel or Kempff in this work, although I wouldn't mind hearing the Richter recording that someone mentioned.
