I want to at least mention Vasary in passing before voting for Arrau.

Kimi likes the Pires because it is more romantic (less Nocturnal?) with bigger dynamic (and tempo) contrasts.

Arrau

But I definitely need Rubinstein along ... and Samson François probably even more so!
Guess I ought to check out Moravec, haven't heard a single note of his ... Pires is on the way (couldn't make up my mind, so I eventually ordered both the Erato and DG boxes - though I'd surely wish the later contained the chamber music as well).

Arrau

Ahem.

One more vote here for this Rubinstein set.
