Cliburn/Kondrashin???
The reference should always be a recording that includes Sviatoslav Richter. And if Richter is not there, take some Gilels.
As an antidote to Argerich, listen to Weissenberg/Karajan or Postnikova/Rozhdestvensky. With broader tempi (their first movements last more than 22 minutes), and more space for smaller articulation.
