From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

Balance Is Key

I hate the kind of mike placement that became the vogue in the 1980's with the appearance of digital recording technology. That horribly distant piano in an empty room sound - I can't stand that. Just can't stand that.

OTOH, sticking mikes inside the piano, as is done for rock recordings, is totally unnatural. When was the last time you had your head shoe horned into a piano? I'm betting never.

So, I'd say close, but not unnatural. Definitely not distant.
