Not in any particular order apart from the first:
Richter: in Rachmaninoff, Liszt and much else but not Chopin, although being Richter his frontal assault on various preludes is obviously not the product of laziness.
Gilels in Beethoven and Rachmaninoff. Stout-hearted and courageous are the qualities that his playing conjures up for me.
Koroliov and Nikolayeva in Bach
Alexander Melnikov in just about anything: a player of great subtlety. What Horowitz might have aspired to had he lived
Jean-Efflam Bavouzet ditto
Moravec ditto
Arrau in Chopin and Liszt
Cziffra in Liszt (I've come around to his way of thinking in recent years)
Bolet in Liszt
Martha who can do no wrong in my eyes
Ahmad Jamal - showing that the spaces between the notes also count Tremendous technique available when icalled upon.
Erroll Garner
Red Garland
Ray Charles
Duke Ellington - I used to think he was a bit of a bash artist as a player. I was wrong
Hampton Hawes
John Medeski, tho I gotta say he's even better on Hammond - unafraid to give offence
Wynton Kelly
Leon Russell
Ray Manzarek
Professor Longhair - an ear-opening experience for me. The repertoire and devices used may have been limited but the man put the K in funky. It just makes ya want to procreate ...
