How to make a good audio recording of a piano piece?

Logic 12.0.1, OSX Tahoe

For recording my piano pieces in Logic (Yamaha P125, USB to my Mac, not using an audio interface though I own one), sometimes I would lay a midi track as well just to boost the sound a little, but I want to instead try pure audio. Is one approach, to maybe ad a little audio effects like reverb? I perform these live as well so don't want it to sound too processed. Recording just audio in Logic, sometimes the piano recording doesn't sound quite right. Anyone here have experience recording their (digital) piano pieces?

nice V7 with flat 9 chord in Bach, but prepared

Brandenberg 6 middle movement, the measure at the end of the system. At 10:03. It's all in the context of the dissonance prepared, and resolved, in the second viola part. Not plunking down a flat9 dominant chord, but it really stands out since the top voice jumps down to the 3rd of the chord at at 10:03. (The flat 9 is in the second viola.). Plus this movement has a very bare arrangement, just two violas and two low strings, it really stands out. Of course, using this chord without preparation and release also sounds nice in other styles. It's a good example of effective voicing.
