The first Chopin set I had was Earl Wild, on a Varsity lp (originally on 
Majestic and a few other 78 labels). Probably more surface noise than audible 
music on that lp.

Rubinstein, while he did complete sets of the Nocturnes, Polonaises, Mazurkas, Sonatas, Ballades, etc, he seemed to eschew the Etudes for some reason.  I agree with the opinion that you won't likely go wrong with anything from Cortot's fingers.  Leopold Godowsky did his own arrangements of the Etudes but, as far as I know, he never recorded them.
