Agree with the Glenn Gould playing Goldberg Variations. This is the music that made me "get" Bach. However, do try to get the anniversary edition called "A State of Wonder". It is the most lovingly remastered and includes both the legendary 1955 mono recording that rocked the world and the 1981 recording that ended up to be his last recording before his death. Also includes a full disc of interview with Tim Page.

If you like Jazz solo, I would recommend japanese pianist Makoto Ozone - A Wizard of Ozone. Very nice jazz playing but hard to find. Anything by Gene Harris is also highly recommended, especially his playing with bassist Ray Brown. Highly recommended is Ray Brown - Soular Energy, especially the SACD. pfarrell Wrote: > seanadams wrote: > > I am looking for some exceptionally well recorded piano solos - > > suggestions? > > In the classical world, a great set is > Goldberg Variations - Glenn Gould - 1981 CBS Masterworks by Glenn > Gould > > Not quite solo piano, but predominately piano in a jazz trio setting > Duke Ellington > Album: Piano In the Foreground > > > > > -- > Pat > http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html -- agentsmith ------------------------------------------------------------------------ agentsmith's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1838 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20611 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
