I just bought a recording of Leif Ove Andsnes playing the 1st piano sonata and the Fantasie. It's gorgeous.

Dichterliebe is awesome. I know I probablly sound like a broken record, but get Fritz!!! Either Wunderlich of Fischer-Dieskau.. Also check out Frauenliebe und Leben, another beautiful cycle, this time for soprano.

If you want a recording of Frauenliebe und Leben, I consider this one to be extremely good:

Martineau is one of the best three accompanists in the world at the moment, I would say?
