Looking for well recorded great piano on CD's

Here's a few classical for you:

Pletnev at Carnegie Hall is a great live recording.
Volodos also has some great recordings - I have the listen to the Schubert frequently for some reason.
The Goldberg Variations by Glenn Gould remastered as a double album of two distinctive performances decades apart and each quite distinctive.

I'll second Volodos for someone / something new. I have his recital CD and the Rach 3.

For something old that sounds good considering; I have enjoyed the series of historical releases under the Great Pianists of the 20th Century series.

They are mostly old analog recordings , but I feel they've done a very good job overall transferring them to digital. There are also the occassion live concert recording thrown in that have never been heard before on any format, which is a real treat.

Try the Stereophile Magazine recordings, they are super clean and bring out the best and worst of your system.

I enjoy Stereophile's boxed set of Beethoven's sonotas. Should be a link and review on their site.
