How does solo piano help you evaluate audio gear?
A pianist friend just recommended this article and pianist to me, knowing that I'm presently doing a speaker shoot-out. My question to you all is this:
How important is solo piano recordings to your evaluation of audio equipment -- in relation to, say, orchestra, bass, voice, etc.? What, specifically, does piano reveal exceptionally well, to your ears?
Here's the article:

@dodgealum @perkri , Roxy Yes, strongly agree on Bill Charlap ! My streaming service has lots of Uchida where it is easy to hear the nimble grace and fluidity in her playing… For additional Jazz reference, i would add Jessica Williams - Live at Yoshi’s Volume 2 |
@hilde45 I also find the 2L download bench very helpful….lovely recordings often in challenging reverberant space, IMO typically expertly done. Jim |
@dodgealum thanks for the pointer, which Uchida disc # please. Jim |
