<p>If a college allows a choice between bringing in your own recording versus having their pianist play, which is a better choice?</p>
<p>It’s all of what you feel comfortable with. Remember, the CD WON’T change. I would feel more comfortable with a CD because you know exactly what it will do. Pianists are also liable to screw up for some reason or another. It’s all what you’re comfortable with. For the auditions though, prepare both sheet music AND the CD, just in case you loose one or the CD doesn’t work. It’s always better to be over-prepared :D</p>
