I think there is a reason why older pianists don't participate in competitions: they have perfected their art, to compare them is missing the point in some way. Anyway, my favorite pianists are.... Angela Hewitt: canadian, very well known for playing Bach. Glenn Gould: the Bobby Fischer of the piano. Martha Argerich: She is incredible. I love her. A truly interesting romantic pianist - without ever being annoying. Alfred Brendel: This is, I think, my favorite pianist of all times. What is incredible about him is that it is all about the music when he plays. He doesn't impose his personality. His play is simple and clean and still very humane (I can't find a better word..). I think it is strange that people like romantic pianists as much as they do (Horowitz, Rachmaninoff etc). I find it interesting how you can like Gould and Brendel at the same time  Personally I can't stand Brendel especially in the Beethoven sonatas; he makes some of the greatest, most passionate, moving music in the repertoire sound completely lifeless. His Mozart concertos are better. Each to his own though  | ||
