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

RE: Forget overrated or underrated. Who are you personal favorite pianists past and present live and recorded

So many experts in this thread, or at least they think so.

Pollini was cold and then not cold. Wasn't cold heard live in Cleveland 2000.

On record, I like Fleisher (Beethoven and Brahms PC, Rachmaninoff Rhapsody on a theme) and Sv Richter (all of them).
Maybe Arrau (Brahms PC) and Van Cliburn (Tchaik 1and Rach 2).

Hardly an expert comparing a lot of people to each other (no time), I just have enjoyed many of the stated pianists thru the years. And I can never get to the bottom of it all.
