While Berman's legendary Liszt Annees de pelerinage is still pretty good today, I think it's a prime example of a classic recording from an age with less options that's since been supplanted and betted by several more recent and wonderfully performed recordings. There's just so many great options now, all of them different, all of them better suited to perfectly satisfy whatever ideal interpretive preference the listener holds. Even for the recordings meant to satisfy the most people as possible, which is where Berman's falls, there are better sets now. All I know is when I listen to one of those aforementioned great options, I am consistently wowed, whereas with Berman's, in the face of comparison, I am no longer.
