Please Recommend Audiophile Solo Piano Recordings


Looking for recommendations. Any genre is welcome as long as performance and audiophile quality are of the highest standard.

Thank you

Now that Herbie Hancock and Bill Evans got mentioned, let me add Keith Jarrett. Unusual and unique style, his "The Kohln Concert" (ECM 1064/65) was the recording of the month at Stereophile mag, and as any other ECM offering it is definitely "audiophile" quality!!! Obsessing with Audiophilia: Silverman at Stereophile label got mentioned, let me add Alan Gambel "Chopin and Liszt Piano Sonatas" on Mapleshade, CD 07382. I spent quite a few bucks on Mapleshade hardware after listening to their CDs! Unique sound, I daresay even better than Naim and Linn offerings.
My understanding is that you are trying to "voice" your rig. Thats how I do it also, on solo piano.
XRCDs beat SACDs in my room. Get "Emil Gilels - Beethoven: Sonaten" here:  http://store.acousticsounds.com/d/96344/Emil_Gilels-Beethoven_Sonaten-K2_HD_CD
or Richter here:
https://www.amazon.com/Beethoven-Appassionata-Funeral-March-Sonatas/dp/B00024I3C6
"Highest Standard of performance" is a bit too subjective: Richter playing makes me cry, Rubinstein or Horowitz kick me into a different realm. Check out "Steinway Legends" on Amazon and choose your poison! Downloadable at http://www.prestoclassical.co.uk but usually its cheaper to buy off Amazon and rip.
