Recommendation - Complete Beethoven Sonatas

And I'll offer yet another view in favor of Wilhelm Kempff. His recordings on DGG are in generally good sound, and his interpretations are always well thought.

I've not heard any of the performances by Goode. I'll have to explore his interpretations - thanks!

Another vote for Goode. I have both the Goode and the Kempff sets and prefer the Goode ever so slightly. Both pianists are exemplary.

Let me confuse the issue by recommending the Pollini along with the Brendel and the Goode.

I agree that the Goode set is excellent. On vinyl, I really enjoy Claudio Arrau's performances (don't know if they have been reissued on CD). Also on vinyl, I've got a few of Ivan Moravec's performances - - - sublime!

Agree with the Moravec recommendation - but he has not recorded the complete sonatas (which was the question). Nevertheless, what he has put to disc are interpretations well worth adding to any collection.
