Here's a couple I like: Demidenko playing Schubert: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00000300P/sr=1-29/qid=1138704053/ref=sr_1_29/104-1104767-0768726?%5Fencoding=UTF8 Richter playing Beethoven: (You also get an electric performance of Brahms Piano Concerto No. 2) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000003EUL/qid=1138704141/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/104-1104767-0768726?s=music&v=glance&n=5174 Actually, this is not a brilliant recording, but the performance is top rate. > Not quite solo piano, but predominately piano in a jazz trio setting > Duke Ellington > Album: Piano In the Foreground Other well-recorded non-solo piano works: Tchaikovsky, Symphony No. 6: Pletneyev with the Russian National Orchestra http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00000DNZN/qid=1138704784/sr=11-1/ref=sr_11_1/104-1104767-0768726?n=5174 Verdi Requiem, Gardiner http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00000418W/qid=1138704944/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/104-1104767-0768726?s=music&v=glance&n=5174 Enjoy!
