Claudio Arrau's performances were released in CD format by Philips, titled: Complete Sonatas & Concertos. It is a very subtle and lyrical reading.
On the contrary Backhauss performances (Decca) provide me a grand and heroic approach.
The live recording (DGG) performed by aged Rudolf Serkin in Vienna was so sacred and sublime. You almost can feel that you are in tranquil surroundings with serene notes floating in the air. But unfortunately it was captured only the last three sonatas (op. 109 111).
Happy Listening.
