I agree with Strateahed, let's get this back on topic.
What's MOST important is the recording/production/engineering quality of the solo piano CD. Please mention if it is classical, jazz, etc. Weight, depth, clarity, speed and lack of color here.
As my audio system improves, my list of listenable CDs diminishes. Or should I say, my list of "Wow, that recording is incredible, it just sucks me in and takes me away" gets smaller...
Rob Thomas (When the Heartache Ends- Piano version), Alison Krauss (Oh, Atlanta) not solo piano though, Sarah McLachlan (Angel). These songs take me away. I would like Classical piano records that do the same.
Not the performance as most important, the mastering of the recording should be stellar!
