Amazing Solo Piano Recordings

Audphile, I only have the Hyperion, I'm afraid, so I cannot say anything about The Russian recording. Thanks for the hint though, I'll go and hunt for it. The Russian is an earlier take I would think, unless Hyperion just bought the rights for it. I doubt this though, because T.N. recorded a lot for them shortly before she died. The 3 CD set I am also not aware of.
Cheers,

thanks Detlof. I'll probabaly opt for the earlier Melodia recording.

Herbie Hancock "The Piano" Recorded direct to disc in 1978 and only available in Japan originaly. Awesome performance and sound. - Jim

Alkan - Concerto for Solo Piano (Marc-Andre Hamelin; Hyperion CDA67569). I picked this up some time ago and just listened to it recently. A stunning work; the 3rd movement can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKQO2rRv0VA&feature=related

Awesome video Babbro - thanks for sharing. Tough to believe a human can play like that
