Prokofiev's Visions Fugitives is gorgeous, though the orchestrated version
seems to be the most widely available rather than the original solo piano
pieces. Chopin's Preludes are gorgeous too, moody and dark. Someone
suggested Cage's 40s piano pieces - I'd second that - lovely stuff, my cd is
Wergo.
Cheers, Colin.
