Kempff and Ashkenazy are both exceptional choices and would probably be my two safest recommendations. Gould was brilliant, but his style is polarizing and the re-edits he did on many of his recordings just drive me insane from an audio perspective. I'm embarassed to admit that they taint my enjoyment of some of his pieces.
Notable in its absence thus far is mention of Solomon... he is responsible for my favorite interpretation of this particular piece. Well, favorite at the moment ;) Still, brilliant.
Other votes from around here (work) are: Horowitz, & Richter
