I have been listening to more and more classical piano music and it doesn't matter which label it is recorded on it always sounds veiled compared with jazz piano. Is there a reason for these seemingly poor recordings on what appears to be the majority of the CDs.
Any recommendations on excellent piano recordings?
Thanks

This piano solos discs below are great recordings, I already listen it:
