brad meldhau, rachel's, the one ensemble of daniel padden

Rockist, I was joking. I think it just seems an odd question to me because 99% of the piano players I listen to are jazz musicians, and I could name a hundred of them but it doesn't seem like 'piano music' for whatever reason.

― Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 20:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Morton Feldman, For Bunita Marcus, the version on Hat Art.

'Changless' - Keith Jarrett

― Andrew L (Andrew L), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 22:01 (twenty-two years ago)

or 'ChangEless', even

and 'Ramblin' by Paul Bley, esp. the title track and 'Ida Lupino'

― Andrew L (Andrew L), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 22:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Elton John - Benny and the Jets (whatever else you might say about the artist or the song, the piano playing here is flawless and glorious)

Michael Finnissy's "History of Photography in Sound" is a spectacular contemporary work for solo piano, several hours long. Ian Pace has performed the whole thing and recorded portions (with a complete recording on the way I assume); but I think the most inspired renditions on disc are Nicolas Hodge's: http://www.nicolashodges.com/content/CDs/cd-finnissyetched.htm

Julio - "North American Spirituals" on Marilyn Nonken's recording American Spirituals is also part of the "History" cycle - http://www.ensemble21.com/nonken/mn.americanspiritual.html

Ian Pace has recorded a lot of Finnissy but apparently not yet this big cycle (which he premiered live).

>harold budd - la bella vista

seconded, my favorite harold budd album since 'lovely thunder', for real. though there's good stuff on 'aqua' (which, like 'la bella vista', is another live disc)

Jordan I understood your comment, I was joking too. That's what I get for being more serious than most people most of the time.

I don't generally like using smiles. :-)
