As most members of this community know, I gravitate heavily toward the ambient end of the musical spectrum, and my taste in solo piano performances are no different. What these composers lack in complexity they make up for in gentle elegance and their ability to evoke feelings of calm and serenity.
Of course, Aldo Ciccolini's interpretations of Satie's piano works are universally lauded.
I also love George Winston dampening/muting technique, particularly in "Dubuque" (the song starts at the 2:50 mark)
And for my most-favorite - here's Harold Budd’s transportive opening to The Pearl produced by Eno and featuring Daniel Lanois.
