The greatest pianists past and present
Posted by: EJS on 04 May 2012
Coinciding with the young pianists thread, I'm starting a thread to provide an overview of the best established pianists past and present. Let's hope we can do a better job than Universal with their Greatest Pianists of the 20th Century series!
Let me kick off with my two heroes:
Stephen Kovacevich
The above old LP getting a lot of plays on my rega planar.
Please forgive me if he's been mentioned already on this thread
(i can't be bothered to go back though to check ; )
Witold Małcużyński (August 10, 1914 – July 17, 1977)
was a distinguished Polish pianist who specialized in the works of Frédéric Chopin.
His playing was marked by great passion and poetry.
I've just ordered a CD of his LvB/Brahms/Chopin works : )
