While everyone has their favorite interpretations, my favorite, both sonically and interpretively, is Minoru Nojima's recording for Reference Recordings (Nojima Plays Liszt). Absolutely superb, demontration class recording-- and the playing leaves you holding your breath at the end. My father played piano seriously and loved this piece, and felt this was the best he'd ever heard it played; if the CD I'd given him were an LP, he'd have worn it out...
