is the early digital (c. 1983) recording of "Pictures at an Exhibition" with Jacques Rouvier on Denon. In terms of sound quality alone, it's quite the opposite of most piano recordings in that it places you at some distance from the instrument, as if you were listening from, say, halfway back in a nice concert hall. It's really uncanny how it sounds like there's a real piano out there between your speakers (as opposed to the 10-foot-wide, up-close sound of most piano recordings). And yet it isn't overly reverberant or barn-like. Oh, and the performance ain't half bad, either!
