Arrau has some of the fullest sounding octaves and surest chords I’ve ever heard in that recording. In short, he works the 88 like an orch (this is why I don’t mind the slightly slower tempo at times).

There are a few recs of Gilels playing the 5th Paganini etude. That’s the only etude by Liszt the Gilels recorded.

I like Arrau, obviouzly.

I don’t think his TE’s are that bad, sometimes they are a bit sl*w, but they have something special in them, and not all of them are painfully slow. I really like how Arrau plays, I don’t know a whole lot about piano technique and shit, but I certainly know that I like how it sounds.

Tru, Arrau’s Etudes are heavy handed and cumbersome, but they are tastefully played, at least.
