Your comment is interesting from the vantage point that while I use many types of recordings to demo equipment and to tweek my systems; I use a lot of piano recordings. I find if the piano sounds right, then almost everything else falls into place.
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.
