Gilels: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a51Gp7z1qkY

At the Brussels Piano competiton in 1938, which Gilels won playing the Liszt-Busoni Figaro fantasy, Emile von Sauer said something like (regarding Gilels playing) he had not heard
anything like it since the death of his master... who was Franz Liszt.

You should listen to Gilels Spanish Rhapsody too.

About Cliburn, I don't agree with the famous quote "Others have played the famous Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto louder and faster, but none have played it with more authority, care and affection than Van Cliburn". His Ravel's Pavan was at one time my reference recording of the work... but I can't confirm continuity on that these days.
