Avoid the Geoffrey Douglas Madge set on Philips.  Tempting but the level
of dreariness in his playing is not to be overstated.

If you can find Ogdon's recording of the Fantasia Contrappuntistica snap
it up, ditto the Jacobs/Oppens Nonesuch recording of the 2-piano version
(also includes Beethoven's Op.134).

More when I've checked through my collection.
