I haven't heard the Sanderling for a long time. When I first heard it I didn't appreciate it much. I must give it another try! I agree that Litton is well worth hearing and that the Previn (EMI) version remains a classic and a very safe first choice. However, if I only had one version it would be Or...

First Sonata
I agree the Rodriguez recording is good and that it's best to avoid Weissenberg, but my first choice is Gordon Fergus Thomson on Kingdom coupled with the second sonata.
