Rushton,

I'll check out some Ivan Moravec, thanks for the tip. By the way- your moniker- I have a friend who's family once had a beautiful home by the same name...
yes Keith Jarrett of course, and Paul Bley has some beautiful solo piano albums out. for duo there's a nice one I've been listening to lately- also recorded well- Kenny Barron & Charlie Haden. For more on the classical side: I like, (as others have said) Murray Perahia for Chopin, (that 70's recording of sonatas # 2&3 is sooo nice), besides all the others... Andras Schiff for Bartok, oh- and Zoltan Kocsis plays Debussy beautifully. What I've really been blown away with recently though is a 2CD set of Messiaen's "Vingt Regards sur l'Enfant Jesus" played by Pierre-Laurent Aimard, on the Teldec label. WOW! Amazing playing, and writing. and recorded well to boot, albeit it maybe a bit bright.. worth checking out, especially if you like Messiaen.
