Just a reminder, or if anyone does not already know: Steinway & Sons Recordings makes their entire music catalog of more than 100 CDs available for FREE streaming listening (no registration required and no personal data requested) here:

Of course, if you have Qobuz, you can hear the same music in hi-res, which Steinway Streaming is not.
But it's a great no-cost way to explore new music and performances. The most recent CD is quite a Coup for Steinway: Yunchan Lim's "Live from the Cliburn" Liszt Transcendental Etudes.
(Steinway sells a boxed set of my Christmas string quartet CDs, but I do not receive any payments of any kind in respect of those titles.)
I put together a list (with links) of 13 albums that I think most listeners will enjoy, ranked from greatest general appeal to greatest specialist appeal, with capsule reviews:

You are very welcome. If I had to pick one mind-boggling piano track from Steinway Streaming (FWIW & YMMV), it would be Jenny Lin's playing of Marc-André Hamelin’s atmospheric re-imagining of the theme from the movie “Laura.” That's Track 12, here:

The middle section should give anyone's tweeters a workout.

This gives me hours of music to listen to. Thanks for the information. I normally wouldn't have checked Steinway's site for recorded music.
Great post, thank you for sharing this. The second website link is very good reading.
Thanks for sharing, John. I'm always looking to expand my listening range, and find the next music to be inspired by. Glenn.
Thank you. It’s nice for a change to see something that isn’t walling me off unless I create another account or pay a subscription.
If the music is good I may have to add some of their CDs.
