 Recording Imbalance?

Question to anyone and everyone who practices with the help of sound recorders:

I have started to record myself playing with Music Minus One CDs playing on the computer. I observed the following very strange phenomena:
1. the computer is playing the CD (piano) so loudly, I think I'll go deaf
2. the sound recorder still picks up my oboe 2ce as loudly as the CD!

=> I have tried putting the recorder closer to the computer speakers and I am facing away, in fact blowing into the doorway to the hall: carpeted. Same result.
=> My recorder is a top of the line portable Stereo high-fidelity (Zoom H4n) that is sold specially for video recording: its specifications are better than anything I could find by Korg or the usual.

Are my ears really that badly out of whack?
