I was going to post some Maxence. Again, not the best piano music of all time but his covers are fantastic. They take on a completely new lease of life from the originals.
My favourite has to be this one of Arcade Fire's No Cars Go.

Well, everything in this piece is genius, but the piano's very nice all the same.


The cascading rhythm of this (there's probably a technical term) is so amazing.


I'm really enjoying Ravel at the moment. Couldn't find the particular rendition I know, just this slightly overstated (orchestra-wise) version.


There's certainly more but that's all that comes to mind right now.

First one that came to mind is this which he wrote in memory of his office Courier who died in an accident .Has to be one of the most beautiful (if somewhat sad ) piano pieces ever .

Song For Guy -Elton John

Keeping to the theme of pleasure, this would be mine.

A phenomenal piece of music.
