Well recorded great pianos...
I always favored Werner Haas who unfortunately died in his 30's from a bike accident. There are a few recordings that are incredibly good, even though they were recorded 30 years ago...
I would check "Hommage a Werner Haas" - it is a low cost 5 cd set, covering a lot of his work. There is some background hiss, but overall it sounds excellent, with very good dynamics and awesome tone.

There is also a Pentatone recording that I highly recommend- it is a Hybrid SACD, so it will play fine on your CD player, but it's worth having the SACD tracks as those recordings were made by Philips in 4 channels.
