Some of the best performances are missing.

This is irrelevant. What matters is that the
list includes timings, and Kissin is not the
slowest reading on record. I thought you wanted
to know.

The liszt includes movement by movement timings
which I don't have time to aggregate into total
timings.
Not to mention the timings measured by people
who like Volodya's 1978 Rachy 3 cannot possibly
be accurate as said people were obviously on
drugs at the time just like Volodya. The latter
should have retired in 1965 just after his CH
return to the stage.
Also keep in mind that timings measured from
LPs are often inaccurate because turntables
are often not turning at exact 33.1/3 rpm.
