[78-L] Show Pan [A-Toods]

[Mike Harkin]

Son-in-law David Saperton did a few of G's arrangements, ca. 1940.  Hamelin did the lot
on CD.  And you thought the orIginals were hard!

Thanks to everyone for the info in this thread.  I am familiar with Cortot already and will persue all the other names put forward.
 
I think the ''Revolutionary Study'' shows the style of classical music I have grown to like - very dramatic.  That's probably why I enjoy Rachmaninoff's "Prelude in C Sharp Minor'' which I have by Mark Hambourg on HMV and also an HMV of it being played by the composer himself.

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.
