The name of the label is almost ironic. It is James Boyk's personal label for recordings of him on solo piano. IMO Boyk was one of the best recording engineers for acoustic music and piano in particular that we have ever seen(heard). I can't think of any recordings off the top of my head that *sound* better than his for solo piano. The irony is that I am not a fan of his playing.

...some hair-raising fidelity of mostly less than interesting works.
. . . there's a recording of the Liszt Sonata and the Chopin Sonata No. 3 on the Mapleshade label - and, as you say, it's recorded extremely well. The pianist, Alan Gampel, was someone I accompanied in a couple of local concerto competitions some years ago - I think he plays very well on this recording (using a Faz), but then, I might be biased! ;-)
One thing that was amusing when I accompanied him (in the Tchaikovsky Concerto) was that, at that time (mid-80's?) he hadn't heard of Martha Argerich. (BTW, on the link below, you have to scroll down to get to the English.)
