Who is your favourite piano performer?

It’s difficult for me to pick out of all the fantastic performers, but I’m going with Sviatoslav Richter
I would appreciate it if you’d explain why

Thanks

HEY! you didn’t explain why!

It’s very difficult for me to pick as well, however in the end, I’ think I’m going with Richter as well. Richter’s interpretations are always so full of fire and energy. They have a certain drive to them, and his playing of Ravel’s Miroirs is masterful. The Valses Nobles et Sentimentales are fantastic as well. His Scriabin Sonata no. 5 is as passionate as can be, and every note is full of passion. His Prokofiev Sonata no. 2 is beautiful, intense, the melody brought out perfectly, and as has the fire and passion of a Prokofiev Sonata.
