David -

You might be interested in reading Brendel's book, "Musical Thoughts and
Afterthoughts."  There is a chapter in there wherein he discusses the
experience of recording these sonatas for Vox. As I recall, he was very
unhappy with it because, amongst other things - the engineers would
manipulate the dynamics by turning the dial down whenever he played
loud, and turning it up when he played soft.
