Hey folks. The Liszt Sonata in B Minor is my favorite piece of piano music. And I try to collect every available version of it. I'm never quite sure which is my favorite. There are so many good ones. Which is your favorite recording of it and why.

I am going to try to put up a poll of all the recordings of it that I know of.

Great choices.....yeah I've collected all available recordings I know of this piece. At one point in time I listened to the piece twice a day for a two year period

I don't own the Piano Sonata, but I have Arrau's performace of Liszt's Transcendental Etudes. I absolutely love it!!!

I voted for Arrau (Philips), my second choice is for Clifford Curzon, but I see he didn't make your list.

The 1932 Horowitz recording is legendary...
