I am going to have to listen to his VOX set real soon.

I also prefer his first integral, but I may be a bit biased because my first encounter with many of the LvB piano sonatas was a series of four LvB recitals with Brendel in Copenhagen at the time of his first integral.
Reality trumps our fantasy far beyond imagination.

Other than this CD, I am no fan of Brendel's Beethoven.

Moravec is my guy in this repertoire. And Schnabel.

Exactly. Everything he did was perfect, why don't we have the complete sonatas  :'(
