I'm looking to get your oppinions on the best solo piano recordings available. Style or genre is not important as long as the recording is pristine, clear, open and in your oppinion AMAZING! Please if you can, state artist, label, etc., so we audiogoner's can buy 'em!
You are so right! If you look at Horowitz, you can't help but wonder how such a little man produced such enormous sounds from the piano. The Deutsche Grammaphone recording does a fine job of capturing this live performance.
Paul Machlis has several CD's out with world class fiddler Alasdair Fraser, and a few solo recordings. The Bright Field and The Magic Horse are the two most memorable solo efforts. For traditional Scottish music, check out the team's two titles; The Road North (recorded here in Portland, OR) and Skyedance.
Have you tried Pail Machlis? He is a scottish Pianist who freaquently plays with Alasdair Fraser. I think his best album is "The Bright Field". The baby grand piano he plays has a unique and prononced tonality to it.
