[78-L] Show Pan

[neechevoneeznayou at gmail.com]

Matthew, I don't know about recordings of this work specifically, but 
some pianists other than the 2 you list, who were renowned for their 
Chopin interpretations, and who vary GREATLY, are:

Rachmaninoff
Rosenthal
Lhevinne (FABULOUS recording of the Revolutionary Etude)
Levitsky
Hofmann
Rubinstein
de Pachmann.

Just to name a few. The good thing about such a popular work is that 
there is no shortage of performances, and most of them should not be so 
rare as to cost you a fortune on 78s.

Glad you are branching out!

Might I also suggest you hear the first and last Etudes, C Major and c 
minor respectively, and especially the one in a minor "Winter Wind". 
Chopin didn't name these himself, publishers do this kind of thing to 
sell music.
