That's almost exactly my list, except for Richter. Yes - I don't get what he does with Bach or Scriabin at all, absolutely zero affinity. But Debussy, Prokofiev and some of his Liszt get my vote. Plus odd things like Chopin Scherzo 4. I don't generally listen to his Chopin. Not exactly Mr. Charm, but his playing can be very luminous and he's good with motor rhythms - he certainly can keep a beat.
I'll forgive Ozawa for anything given his Rite of Spring. The last pages are so jazzy he makes the Chicago SO sound like the Basie band. No other recording does this.
