Nojima's Ravel and Liszt albums are great performances and recordings. Sounds like being close to the piano in a recital hall. Easy to discern the various voices, layers and textures in the Ravel Miroirs.
Reference also has a good set of Rameau harpsichord performed by Albert Fuller. Similar perspective as the Nojima albums. Nice mix of harpsichord and hall ambience.
Another nice harpsichord recording is the Couperin livres performed by Kenneth Gilbert on Harmonia Mundi.
I like the Chopin and Liszt recordings by Ashkenazy on Decca/London. They have incredible dynamics and get the brass and sparkle of the piano. Must be close miked, not much hall ambience.
Enjoy the music.
