I am curious; could you cite an exemplary recording of the piece, hopefully available on RU-vid? - always interested in good performances. I have also listened to Sokolov, which is interesting, and much slower. Gavrylyuk, Brendel are also slower. Personally, I like Brendel, of the three. They tend to be more "expressive", but the balance between "overdoing it" and expressiveness for this piece makes me ponder. Subjective, of course.
