Several persons have mentioned the incomparable de Larrocha for good
reason, but she recorded this series more than once.  In my opinion, you
should look for her first recording, which appeared originally in Spain
on Hispavox LP and which has been released many time since in various
reincarnations.  Probably, it can be found on Vox very cheaply.  The
Hispavox sound was plummy sometimes, but the playing was fantastic.  Her
London recordings came later.
