Who are the greatest pianists of our times?
Great in the sense of:
Sergei Rachmaninoff
Arthur Rubinstein
Vladimir Horowitz
Glenn Gould
Thank you to the first answerer. I meant of course those who are still alive today.
M. Argerich of course… I saw her playing once. Oh my!!! But she is no « Horowitz », sorry…
Well not exactly in the class of Rubinstein or Horowitz as sadly I don’t feel that none of todays artists can quite match those two giants but I’d certainly add my vote for Martha Argerich as not being too far behind,her full blooded passion absolutely floors me.
For a more poetical approach I’d choose Murray Perahia.
Another great pianist would surely be Mikhail Pletnev.
I would also agree with the other two votes for Alfred Brendel,certainly in his later recordings which are rather special and possess a profound maturity and depth of feeling not always apparent in his earlier work.
I’m also very fond of Evgeny Kissin but it’s probably too early to evaluate his overall greatness perhaps.
Incidentally I’d prefer Sviatosalav Richter over Gould any day and every day.He is my favourite pianist ever,Rubinstein second.
