I'm looking to get your oppinions on the best solo piano recordings available. Style or genre is not important as long as the recording is pristine, clear, open and in your oppinion AMAZING! Please if you can, state artist, label, etc., so we audiogoner's can buy 'em!
I bought Dick Hyman (finally) plays Fats Waller. Killer recording. For you guys interested in great piano solos: this is one of the best (sonically) I've ever heard. Any others by Dick Hyman as good as the Fats one? Thanks in advance. peace, warren
Just read this whole thread and am shocked no one mentioned Sergei Rachmaninoff A Window in Time Vol I and II, among the BEST piano music I have ever heard. A lot of great recommendations made, and I have some new things to check out, thank to everyone who has contributed to this thread!
Tireguy, the pianist there was arguably the greatest of all time--my dad was a piano major in college, heard Rachmaninoff in concert and decided if he had to compete with that, he'd become a lawyer instead... An excellent recommendation, particularly the transcriptions.
