Great classical pianists


Alexandra Dovgan is the pianist of her generation.

 

In the last century there was Richter. Today Trifonov. Now a new phenom. What is it in the Russian water that produces such giants of the keyboard?

We enjoy all great pianists. Rubinstein, Pollini, Argerich, Backhaus, Kempf, Michelangeli, Schnabel, Pogorelic, Gilels. Please add your favorite to this embarrassment of pianistic riches. But there is primus inter pares.

I’m both surprised and delighted that so many classical music lovers on this forum came out of the woods to write a comment.

My favorites are Horowitz and Gould.

I like Horowitz and Gould not for their incredible technique, but for the passion, intensity and intellect they bring to what they play.
