Tomita Isao (冨田勲) - The Bermuda Triangle

Tomita is pretty legendary among synthysizer peoples. The approach is pretty much take good / decent classical music (Debussy, Mussorgsky, et cetera) and put a late 20th century edge to it. Other people did this too and Tomita wasn't really the first, but his albums are pretty well regarded and fondly remembered.
The Bermuda Triangle has Tomita working some Prokofiev pieces with a little bit of his Sibelius, John Williams, and his own mixed in. Not as straightforward as say Snowflakes are Dancing, his first album, more of an atmospheric quality. Dynamic.
This came in a cool pink or blue vinyl of which I will provide no pictures, though I suppose in the distant future I could, but even thinking of this seems rather pointless, like so many other things.

Chopin - Complete Preludes and Nocturnes

Chopin.
Polish composer. Lots of piano. Great.

Complete Preludes and Nocturnes.
Op. 28 is the well known piece here, rightfully so. Some very great piano work. Op. 28, like the previous Bach piece, is also in all 24 keys, major and minor. The Nocturnes I am less familiar with, but are also good. Nos. 2 and 3 may be familiar to you. This is the piano work of Garrick Ohlsson, I think he does a good job, how about you?

J.S. Bach - The Well-Tempered Clavier, Bk 1

Bach.
German.

The Well-Tempered Clavier, Bk 1.
Solo piano. Completed by Bach in 1722. 24 Preludes coupled with 24 fugues in each of the conventional keys. Some are well known, such as Prelude no. 1 in C major, while others are lesser known and considerably better—one might think of Prelude and Fugue no. 19 in A major. The piano on this album is here performed by Fredrich Gulda.

A note on the performer and the performance:
"Friedrich Gulda (FG): FG, who was an Austrian pianist that published both Beethoven's 32 and JSBs 48 in early days of the modern recording industry, has left behind a very consistent interpretation of the WTC, to which one has to get used to, but, once this is accomplished, which provides a very deep insight into the works. FGs approach is to use a very dry piano sound and to bank on his precise technique, which enables him to ;nail' certain passages that often get blurred with other performers. However, he also has a very subtle and almost "considerate" tone when it comes to some of the slower and more thoughtful pieces, which makes their interpretation equally convincing."
