Brendel (his Vanguard recording - haven't heard his Philips version), Richter, Martha - all excellent. Haven't heard Perahia. I remember Ashkenzy's fairly early Decca recording as being high standard too (recorded prior to his slide towards mediocrity). A dark horse might be the EMI recording by Leif Ove Andsnes - I found it pretty outstanding in its forward drive, clarity, tone quality, and general poetic sensibility (hard to define this last quality!).
