Any recommendation for a recording of Liszt’s Années de Pelerinage?

I have Bolet on Decca but it’s early digital masters and though pretty good I’m wondering what’s better. Bertrand Chamayou was rather stunning on Saturday, live at Opera Comedy Montpellier (in the theatre not the radio broadcast), I’ve not heard his CD yet but I’d prefer vinyl if there’s better than the Bolet.

I have complete sets on vinyl by Cziffra and Lazar Berman. Both are good, Cziffra sounds technically cleaner, Berman is more evocative of the atmosphere and emotion.
On separate LPs, I prefer Brendel or Arrau.

Arrau is wonderful, and has the Philips sound on his side as well.
I hope DG makes an original source from the Lazar Berman recording.
