I wounder if you have come accross Richter's live recording from Innsbruck. I'm not a huge fan of Richter, and I never understood the enthusiasm about his Bach and his studio recording of the Great 48 for RCA, until I ran across that live recording. It's availble on streaming services, and I really like it. The difference in the overall time isn't huge (about 4:27 hours vs 4:12 for the live recording), but I find the live recording much more spontaneous and enjoyable.

Hi Igor,
I am not familiar with it, but I will check it out. I appreciate the recommendation!

lots of good recommendations here, I vote Gieseking and Schiff and can't wait to give Nosrati a spin... Some others I highly recommend:
