Didn't Louis Lortie record the complete Beethoven? I heard him only
play two or three sonatas from the first and beginning of the second
book.  It was excellent.  Don't forget to take Pollini's recordings into
consideration - in particular the "Hammerklavier".  He is one of the best
- if not the best - living Beethoven performers.  O yes, if you are a fan
of Friedrich Gulda, he recorded a complete set for Grammophone - in DGG's
post-Kempfian years.
