In Reply to: Actually, I have many good piano recordings. The more difficult problem... posted by jsm on March 12, 2007 at 13:25:23:
Apropos your last request (good piano recordings), here's a stunning newcomer:Arkadi Volodos "Plays Liszt" (SACD from Sony Germany, type B000MGB0JW in Amazon). Super processed but possibly the best reproducton of the piano sound I've ever heard. The dynamics (which with this player are awesome) don't feel compromised at all and the tone & stage are superb.
In jazz there are very successful piano recordings by Winter & Winter, like for example the Tethered Moon CD's, all of them (Masabumi Kikuchi with Motian and Peacock). They like an opposite approach and until quite recently only made unprocessed analogue recordings.
