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

RE: Gramophone's Hall of Fame

Reading the list made me think about which musicians are most important in my listening. Not much overlap with hall-of-fame lists like grammophone's list.

Szell is at the top of the list. Beyond that one name, it is a question of favorite performances of music that I listen to often. A few that come to mind:

Mackerras (Mozart symphonies, Dvorak)
Gardiner (all those Mozart concerti with Bilson and some symphonies)
Vegh (Mozart!)
Monteux
Kondrashin
Reiner
Derek Solomans
Adam Fischer
Toscanini (in spite of the sound)

Fleisher (Beethoven and Brahms concerti)
Brendel
Bilson
de Larrocha
Rubinstein
Malcuzynski
Walter Klien

Heifetz
Grumiaux (Mozart and Beethoven concerti)
Julia Fischer

Fournier
Wispelwey

John Williams
Julian Bream

This doesn't scratch the surface of course.
