I haven't heard that many recordings of the B-minor sonata, but Brendel and
Arrau(?) were recommended in Gramophone (the article was on the Web).  I
have a LP with Bernard d'Ascoli (blind, in fact).  La Leggeriezza (sp?) and
Franck's Prelude,Chorale et Fugue are alos included on this LP.  I don't
know if's available on CD.  I've heard Horowitz and it made a (too) violent
impression on me.

By the way, what ever happened to d'Ascoli?
