Regarding the Chopin Etudes and Nocturnes referred in the posts, the discography of Sergio Fiorentino includes the recording of the Etudes op.10 n.1-12 (1959 and 1962 ?) and some Nocturnes in 1962. AFAIK there is no CD edition of these...

According to this blog: http://ceolnasidhe.blogspot.com/2011/08/sergio-fiorentino-chopin-nocturnes-vol.html

and

He recorded the complete Nocturnes for Saga. (I stated above that they aren't very good)

There's even an unfavorable review of the set on the Gramophone website: http://www.gramophone.net/Issue/Page/December%201974/121/782380/CHOPIN.+Nocturnes.+Sergio+Florentino+%28piano%29.+Saga+53767+%28two+records,+87p+each%29.

I only have the first CD of the Nocturnes but like George, I wasn't impressed.

Yeah, I wonder what happened there.

There are recordings attributed to Fiorentino that aren't by him and he also recorded using nom-de-plumes. Maybe this is not recorded by him.
