My favourite recording of piano music is The Piano Music of Alkan
played by Raymond Lewenthal. I happen to like the beat-the-&^%$-out-of-the-
piano school of music and Alkan certainly did that in Quasi-Faust which
contains the most gorgeously complex fugue I have ever heard.
I lost the record in my move to Canada and would dearly love to
get another copy but it is now out of print. 
Second favourite (also lost and haven't heard for a long time) was
Gyorgy Cziffra playing Liszt's Transcendental Etudes.
