Shostakovich: 24 Preludes and Fugues played by Jenny Lin on the Hanssler Classics label is exceptionally good. The performance is first rate all the way and the recording is really, really good. Big and dynamic with excellent timbres. Can't go wrong with this one.
Piano that sounds like a piano
Some time back several of us agreed that it's hard to find a piano recording that really sounds right. Well, I have found one that's better than most.
SACD PentaTone PTC 5186 024 Beethoven Sonatas, Mari Kodama.
This is a new recording (Jan 2003) by the audiophile recording outfit Polyhymnia. It is a hybrid, so you can play the Redbook/SACD game if you like.
Nice music too.
