It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Zimerman is one I would have mentioned below

Actually, I find that the "perfection" which many listeners attribute to ABM actually applies more truly to Zimerman. He's not as "extreme" as some other pianists I like, but the detailed finish of his playing is incredible IMHO. I don't often agree with The Gramophone (if only because their reviewers almost reflexively tend to support big label, big advertiser recordings!), but their praise of, say, Zimerman's Debussy Preludes on DG is very well founded: the exactitude of the rhythm and the transparency of the texture is fantastic. Even though I have a couple of great hi-rez recordings of these works (Koroliov on DVD-Audio and Bavouzet on 24/96 download), I'm also spellbound by Zimerman on plain old CD!
