As the title says, i need some good piano music. I like craig armstrong's piano works, to give you a sense of what i'm looking for. I want something melodic and slow, but some fast bits is also appreciated... So, please, give me recommendations! |

I'm not to familar with John Cage, but I do have a compilation of his by the name of In a Landscape which offers a few piano pieces of ambient grandeur. in a landscape (title track) and dream Both are instant in their beauty. |

Of course there's the Classical route, but I don't know if your ears are accustomed to it or not. Some "instantaneous" classical that might suit your needs, um, just off the top of my head, let's see... There's Bach's (J.S.) keyboard transcription of Alessandro Marcello's concerto. The last movement I'm sure you'll find undeniable. (Concerto in D minor, BWV 974) Bach's Goldberg Variations are just sublime. Just give them a chance. (BWV 988) And maybe some Janacek, Leos Janacek that is. His "In the Mists on the Overgrown Path" piano series are unique. Very worth giving a listen to. |

Maybe I'm not seeing it, but how the hell does one purchase the album? |

Glenn Gould's Goldberg variations (one was recorded in the 50's, one in early 80's.. both are different.. this guy has Asperger's and has a unique way of playing). |

Valentin Silvestrov- is probably my favorite piano work ever, if you don't mind having a female soprano singing (really tastefully) over it. |

some of the ambient albums by Brian Eno are real nice. The Plateaux of Mirror, and The Pearl (featuring Harold Budd) are both real nice. |

Andrew Hill - Smokestack Awesome early 60's quartet with piano, double bass and drums... |

Let's see... Cage and Bach: have only "heard" 4.33 by cage, and it was superb... so will check him out, along with bach. Satie: have some pieces by him, they're okay, but too short The tracks on f-com was nice, i will see if i can find them somewhere. Harold Budd: i have "the pearl" by him and Eno, it's really nice, but they lack the melodic touch i'm looking for. I also have harold budd, bill nelson & filla brazillia - three white roses, which also is nice Gonzales: have it already, too short songs, but it's alright. Will check hauschka and swod! Goldberg: haven't heard of, will check Silvestrov: couldn't find stufen, but found some others with a man singing (or something), wasn't that good... however, will continue trying to find stufen Andrew Hill: haven't found smokestack, just got "time lines" though, guess it's some kind of "best of...", will listen to it in a minute! thank you all! |

"Time lines" is Hill's latest recording - recorded this year - and far from as interesting as Smockestack, that was recorded in 1964... Time Lines is a nice - slightly dull jazz quintet - but not the place to start listening to Hill... |

rachmaninov's 3rd and 2nd piano concertos i'll second js bach's goldberg variations... i don't like the harpsichord, but when they're played on the piano they certainly do sound sublime. beautiful. murray perahia's recording of them is quite good. mary lou williams was a very nice jazz pianist. "Free spirits" is a good album. |

Harpsichords are the most unnerving sound to me. And Meldo, you must have got Silent Songs, I'm not a huge fan of the vocals on there either. I don't think you'll like Stufen if you don't like that anyway, it's the same basic single piano/solo voice structure but with a female soprano instead of male tenor. |

Satie is awesome of course, but people tend to forget he's dead and therefor finds it hard to sit up at the piano.. so you have an endless list of pianists playing his work... and boy is some of it painful, oh man. phew. painful. one of the best i've heard so far doing some of Satie's works is Pascal Rogé, and one of the worst ever was Anne Queffelec. |

ultre - is the new artist working with piano and idm hybrid sounds - if this clip is anything to go by..... on audiobulb |

Pascal Rogé's is the only satie i've heard or got. very good stuff. |

um... thats not piano music? |

Yeah, it's Silent Songs by Silvestrov that I found. I will still try to find Stufen, but I think you're right, Ophecks. Drukqs: you're right, the pieces on it are really good, both piano and non piano. Regarding www.kcinsu.com, some time ago someone posted three files, Sonata1stmvmnt, etc., which also appears on the page you said, they are really good. I will definitely check the other names mentioned here, thank you again! |

Sonata for Solo Piano, 3 movements. That would have been me. Thanks :) |

Actually I meant the second movement. |
