wanted to pick up some beautiful, well recorded piano recordings, and hoping some people can chime in with rec's.

classical is ok, as is jazz.

some examples i have handy are:

tom waits: closing time
herbie hancock & chick corea at carnegie hall
bill evans

A couple not mentioned by anyone yet:

Nojima plays Liszt -- fabulous playing!
Ashkenazy playing the Shostakovich Preludes and Fugues
Glenn Gould playing the Bach Goldberg Variations

Agree with others about Keith Jarrett The Night is You (or something like that -- he also recorded the Shostakovich), Grusin Gershwin Connection, Dick Hyman, Jackie Terrason, Fred Hersch.

One new Fred Hersch disc that is terrific if you like live jazz is his live set in Amsterdam. Just out.

Good luck and happy listening!
