I could probably list quite a few pieces I'd prefer a relative unknown over Horowitz....
I've also recommended Horowitz for a lot of composers, but don't recall anything he stands out w Beethoven. Horowitz's style isn't a good fit for Brahms either.
But whenever Horowitz really nails something, nobody is in the next area code...... (Chopin's "Raindrop" Prelude, for one. Scriabin's Etude 8/12 is another.) I cannot say that about another pianist.
