well programmed piano recital recording?

[arthroceph]

I've been listing to the Gilels Seattle recital recently released and got to think that because the pieces are shorter,
the make-up and order of the programme can become important.

I suppose I got interested in so-called imaginative recital programmes, where the pieces somehow "hang together", and can become more than the some of their parts.
Has anybody any recording recommendations?

It sounds as if I'm talking prog rock albums, but I was just wondering if there was an element of that in any piano recital recordings.

Thx in adv!

Carnegie Hall recitals by (in no particular order) Horowitz (several examples to enjoy), Volodos, Kissin and Pletnev feature shorter pieces alongside the heavyweight recital repertoire and are well worth seeking out. Where else to enjoy Islamey and Beethoven's last sonata in one programme. Whether these recitals 'hang together' is I guess in the ears of the listener but they work for me.
Noting your location look out for Steven Osborne's recitals - invariably brilliantly played and with interesting programmes.

Thanks for the tips Gradus. Yes, it's very subjective .. just a wayward wondering I was going through. Cheers!
