Amphissa should weigh in re the Rachmaninoff Sonata - I think he's made a real study of that work and may have most of the known recordings. ;-)

I like that First Sonata too (actually more than I do the way-more-widely-played Second), and perhaps like many here, I grew up with the Ogdon LP. The two that I currently have are Berezovsky and Lugansky, of which I prefer the latter.

I'm now listening to Minnar's Bach album on Spotify (the Ravel/Rachmaninoff album doesn't seem to be there yet), and it seems to be excellently played and well recorded from what I can tell. I hadn't heard the two Vaughan Williams transcriptions before and enjoyed the thick-textured, organ-like sonorities which RVW imparts to the piano.
