Here are few piano CD treasures worth exploring:

Bill Evans "You Must Believe in Spring"
Paul Bley "Blues for Red"
Cyrus Chestnut "Earth Stories"
Keith Jarrett " Whisper Not"

Beethoven Complete Piano Sonatas, Alfred Brendel captures the essence of this composer more than any other pianist, great humanity.

Massenet Piano works

Bach Six Partitas Angela Hewitt's versions are so amazingly lyrical.

I second that - especially the "Moonlight" sonata!

Another beautiful piece is Mendelssohn's "Songs Without Words"
(I have Barenboim's recording).

Just off-loaded an old recording of barenboim's beethoven piano concertos..

Yanni is good but you really have to be in the mood.

Second on Chopin's "nocturnes".

So divine.
