We have recently had discussions as to who is the greatest pianist of all time. But who are the best pianists around today who are still active in the concert hall and In recording? Some suggestions:
Argerich
Freire
Lupu
Pollini
Paul Lewis
Aimard
Hamelin
Kovacevich
Perahia
Baremboim
Steven Hough
Volodos
Ashkenazy
Pletnev
It is my opinion that these pianists would be able to hold their head high in any age.
Of the young generation there is:
Benjamin Grosvenor, whose debut CD I was most impressed with
Yuja Wang - unless you have an aversion to miniskirts on the concert platform
Lang Lang - shock horror from the Musical PC crowd - as No less a person than Fanny Waterman said: 'He's a showman but I wouldn't mind having his pair of hands.'
Be interested to know peoples opinions and also other good pianists of today.
