Who is your favorite recorded pianist?
Mine would have to be Emil Gilels for now. He was downright amazing, always making genuine music to the brim with passion and story telling. Another favorite is Michelangeli.
Also, Steven Hough might be my favorite living pianist. He’s not as well known as he should be it seems, and I wish I could hear some of his original compositions as well, I like the idea of a pianist composer for a real throwback, and he seems to have a very scientific understanding of the music and piano performing. I’ve also recently discovered Yevgeny Sudbin, amazing with Scriabin.
*Stephen Hough. I have a bad habit of forgetting how to spell.
I do love every pianist listed so far. I also really love Volodos and Lugansky for their Rachmaninoff playing. Horowitz is of course the man. Rachmaninoff himself was a wonderful pianist…I wish we had better recordings of him.
Bolet is definitely one of my absolute favorites…especially for his interpretations of Liszt. He has a lot of youtube. If you’re not familiar with him, I highly recommend him. You can find a big Rach 3 masterclass on youtube as well as a few interviews. I feel that his best commercial recording is his Swiss book from the Annees.
