Hello Guillaume and David,
Sorry for the slow follow-up to your posts. The way I understand it from Linn's explanation, there is no conflict between what I heard and the reviews extolling the sound quality of this recording: what I was hearing was a natural feature of the piano that the recording has captured as it would have sounded "live". Maybe you're both hearing it and thinking "ah, yes, that's the natural sound of a piano" whereas I heard it and thought "hmm, that sounds a bit odd" and started obsessing about it...
Anyway, as you said David, now's the time for me to just sit back and enjoy listening, with a glass of something nice. Cheers!
