v.2, transcendental etudes, Jeno Jando, 1997 amazon .

Liszt's Transcendental etudes is my all-time favorite..

Jorge Bolet's recording (Transcendental Etudes, 1999, Ensayo) amazon and Claudio Arrau's renderings (Liszt: The Complete Etudes, Philips, 1997) amazon

Jorge Bolet is precise with clarity. I love it. Claudio is grand and overbearing. I love it too. When playing in the backgroud, it will suddenly seize your attention by it's power and assertion. Of the two, precsion vs "music", i tends to favor the precision because from a logical point of view there's nothing in music other than precision. .

Here's a set i own: Beethoven: The Complete Piano Sonatas by John O'Conor amazon .

I'm not exactly a Beethoven fan, so i have not listened to other pianist's renderings of Beethoven Piano Sonatas, but i think this set is good if not among the best.
