Piano on vinyl - the best

Oscar Peterson is hard to beat

Nojima Plays Listz, Reference Recordings, 33rpm Lp, is a true to life piano recording. i've been lately using it as an reference for how a reproduced piano can sound.

first of all, the performance is excellent (not all Reference Recordings are that way). the scale of the piano, and the energy it projects are very life like. you get the tone and deep bass energy along with the microdynamics. the detail and drama come thru unfettered.

The Tape Project will be releasing the 15ips 1/4" master dub of it soon. i can't wait.

Oh, now we're pushing into another universe of music, Mike! I agree with the Nojima/Reference Recordings recommendation for those looking for classical music. And there's lots more beyond this...

Mikelavigne, great suggestion with the Liszt. Anyone have Chopin and Rachmaninoff suggestions?

Perhaps my most impressive piano recording (and mastering) on vinyl would be Paul Jacob's Debussy cycle on Nonesuch.

Other than that, I've been pretty disappointed with solo piano on vinyl--inner groove distortion on used Lp's and/or mis-tracking....
