Amazing Solo Piano Recordings

Michel Petrucciani, "Solo Live" is one of my favorites.
Dick Wellstood, "live at the Sticky Wicket"
Ralph Sutton, "Live at the Cafe Des Copains".
These are jazz masters and a great example of stride influenced piano artistry.
Enjoy!

Great thread. Another excellent piano recording is Leon Fleisher's Two Hands. He has dystonia and was unable to perform with his right hand for 35 years. With Botox, he has been able to play and this is his recital. Wonderful music of Bach, Scarlatti, Chopin, Debussy, and Schubert. It needs a little volume, but great recording.Vanguard Classics 2004.

I recently purchased a double CD of Kissin and James Levine playing Schubert pieces for four hands. They actually used two pianos, so I guess it is not quite solo piano. Also of note is that this is a live recording. The playing is very exciting and accomplished and the recording is quite good. Schubert actually wrote beautiful music for four hands and not just novelty or show pieces.

I really love Alicia de Larrocha's recording of the Danzas Españolas and the Valses Poéticos by Enrique Granados on the RCA label. She really brings out the soul of this Spanish piano music. The ASIN is B000003FX1 if you want to look it up on Amazon.com.

Larri Thanks for the recommendation of the Schubert Music for Four Hands Carnegie Hall Concert with Kissen and Levine. It truly has a magical beautiy, particularly the Fantasie in F minor.
