You probably know of it, but there is:
www.classicalmusicarchives.com
It partly midi, but there are quite a few good live mp3 recordings of most famous (and many not-famous) works. It is a very good site, i use it all the time. The only problem is, you have to sign up with them and you can only listen to 5 pieces a day, but, still, it is probably the best site out there. The best ive seen that is...

Find out if your local library (city, community, university, etc.) has a subscription to https://www.classical.com/. If not, encourage them to join. My school has a subscription, so I use it all the time.

Sarahlein has recently suggested this site (247 Scarlati sonatas, plus lots of other composers as well).
https://www.claudiocolombo.net/altremusiche.htm
Best wishes,

For Liszt recordings, be sure to check www.lisztworks.com. Not too many recordings yet but a complete catalogue of Liszt's works and at least some mp3s contributed by artists (not only restricted to piano).

another free site:
www.kunstderfuge.com

Thanks again, there's some great stuff on these sites. :)

https://classic.manual.ru/
Now I know that this site may be in Russian, but trust me: you don't need to understand Russian to be able to navigate through it. When your mouse is over a link, look down to the toolbar down the bottom of your screen and you will see the name of the URL in English. When you first get to the site, look to the left side of the page and there will be a list of composers. Click on a link and you will get a list of recordings of some of their works. Once again, all you need to do is put your mouse over the link and look to the toolbar down the bottom to see what it is, not to mention that in the Russian you can also see things like Opus and No. 1 or whatever. A few of the pieces also have links to scores for them but not too many though. Go to https://classic.manual.ru/notes/ for a list of the scores it has.
Anyway, I think this is an another good website if you are willing to go through the "hassle" of it but it's really not that hard at all. I've found a few good things there with not too much difficulty. Otherwise https://www.classicalarchives.com/ is my favourite for mp3s and https://www.sheetmusicarchive.net/ is my favourite for sheet music.
Hope that helps,
