have to say Solomon.
Edwin Fischer similarly would be almost unmentioned by today's commentators.
Wanda Landowska, too.
Lastly, I'd include Guiomar Novaes and Geza Anda. I'm a bit loathe to include them, because I grew up hearing their interpretations of Chopin and, therefore, I'm unable really to judge them very objectively. Still, I enjoy their musicianship to this day and almost never read references or see their names in any lists.
