Recommend Classical Piano LP's


Can someone recommend a couple of good vinyl recordings - featuring or consisting entirely of great piano work? That is, I'm primarily looking for well recorded solo or small ensemble. My knowledge is mostly in the jazz genre; but I'd like some soft and relaxing classical stuff ... something to put on the TT after a long day. Thanks in advance.

Alfred Cortot playing Chopin's fourteen waltzes.
It was originally put out by Angel in 1957 on their Great Recordings of the Century series, with a nice booklet as well. These are from a 1934 original recording so the sound is not up to current standards but the playing is unrivalled in my opinion. It was later redone by Seraphim sometime after his death in 1962.
Would add Rubinstein's original non-digital version of the Nocturnes on RCA shaded dog. Having listened to them and compared them to the digitally remastered version they are far superior.
