One of my favorite works for solo piano is Schubert's Impromptu in G flat major, Op. 90, No. 3. I listened to several different versions on youtube before I discovered this one:

The performer is Murray Perahia, and his interpretation is dynamic but disciplined. When I listen I hear the music and not the performance. This work, performed in such a lovely way, is a good example of the beauty of early Romanticism in music. The strength and diversity of emotions it evokes surpasses that of most of the music that came before it.
