I'm surprised Rachmaninoff has been mentioned 3 times already. I really do not like his interpretations, especially of his own works. For example...

Maybe, it's just the recording quality but I really don't like Rachmaninoff as a pianist. :rolleyes:

I had to add Shostakovich in, as I absolutely love hearing him play his own music.

Sviatoslav Richter (but of course!)

Emil Gilels
Murray Perahia
Radu Lupu
Maurizio Pollini


I'm going to loose sleep over this. Agonising that I had to leave out the likes of Josef Hoffman and Dinu Lipatti only because of their limited scratchy recordings. And how about Kempf, Rosenthal .... arghhhh. Could I do a list of 10 please???

After hearing this (again), I can certainly see why he's been mentioned multiple times--gorgeous playing.
