It's so hard for me to pick five, but Alicia de Larrocha has to be one of them.

How can someone's favorite pianist be someone they could never have heard live or on recording (Liszt, Brahms, Chopin, Clara Schumann, etc.)?

Two posters seems to think Van Cliburn is dead? Yeah, what kind of crap is that.....  WAIT A MINUTE......my post was one of them!! Jesus! Obviously I screwed up, wasn't thinking.....I mean, I just said hi to him a few weeks ago.... (post fixed) After I typed 'Horowitz' and 'Rubinstein,' I flipped into thinking just of the greatest pianists of the last century. I know that you think I've done some bad posts, and at least in this case I have to agree with you.
