The finest amateur pianist that I've come across on Youtube is without a doubt, a guy named Pianodoc82, who creates his own arrangements and plays entirely 'by ear'. The results are very impressive.  http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=pianodoc82

Bill Evans spoke of the "universal mind" that exists in all people, if they can learn to think in the language that the universal mind uses -- a musical language that remains alive and well today, still scintillating, still expanding, still showing those who can hear it the depths of ecstasy and pain and life and love.

Alright, this is an aural performance and not visual but its quite amazing. This is a recording of Mazeppa from Emil Von Sauer, pupil of liszt, and its played at a breakneck speed much like the Berezovsky performance also popular on youtube. the only difference is, this one astoundingly better in my humble opinion. please listen with attentiveness and enjoy. Mazeppa

My favorite is of Martha Argerich playing Liszt's Funerailles! Her technique is amazing and her hands are so strong! Love it.

I love these. Not a big flashy display of technique, but I think it shows how beautiful music can be by playing with passion. Keith Jarrett - Over the Rainbow Keith Jarrett - I Loves You Porgy
