In Reply to: Forget overrated or underrated. Who are you personal favorite pianists past and present live and recorded posted by Analog Scott on November 26, 2014 at 19:10:21:
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.
