Well, it may not be the best set, but consider the piano duet disc with
Mark Taimonov.  He was a famous chess grandmaster, one of the best chess
players in the world in the 60's and early 70's, in addition to being a
concert pianist.  Damn, that is impressive.

Yes, it was the same Mark Taimonov that Bobby Fischer defeated 6 wins, 0
draws, and 0 losses (or +6 =0 -0 as we say in chess) to begin his march
to the world chess championship in 1972.  Incredible!
