Piano on vinyl - the best

Thus far, my piano recordings on LP are somewhat limited. The best being Keith Jarrett Koln Concert, in which the tunes are very listenable, upbeat and the recording quality is solid. I am sure there are many others which I am not familiar with.

Current favorites:

Keith Jarrett - Koln Concert

Regina Spektor - Name it. (Great modern recordings)

Vince Guaraldi - All (mono)

Tori Amos - Boys for Pele, Choir Girl, Little Earthquakes

Marian McPartland - Live at the Hickory House.

I have been listening this morning to one of my all-time favorites----a box set of Satie piano works performed by Frank Glazer on Vox.

Jdaniel, I don't have problems with smearing or lack of focus (at least none that bother me), but I would agree that piano is difficult for LPs for another reason. Even a slightly off-center LP can have noticeable change in pitch, and this bothers me more with piano than most other instruments. For example, on the Satie box set I mentioned, two of the three LPs are very slightly off-center. It's not a big deal, but enough that I end up playing the 3rd LP more often.
