Rubinstein is excellent in the RCA SACDs. I'm tempted by the Pollini available now, but there was a problem with the sound, I believe. Still, If they reissued the Pollini version of the etudes, I'd jump for it right now.I'm not familiar with the other pianists mentioned. I had the Hewitt in Bach, but I sent it back. Did not care for it. Perhaps she would be better in Chopin.
Who do you like in pianists, generally? My opinions may not suit your taste. For instance some despise Gould in Bach, not me.
