Sviatoslav Richter. Greatest pianist of the last century?

At 83 Argerich maintains a vigorous concert schedule. She will play Beethoven's First Concerto in Berlin 24 thru 26 October 2024 accompanied by the Berliners and fellow Argentine Barenboim. After the break, it'll be Brahms Fourth. It will be fascinating to hear how each of the three performances differ.

Pollini is increasingly frail. 

To those throwing shade, I say Would you prefer we talk about which crappy audiophile recordings best demo the wonders of your system? Yes learning from colleagues about great new musical resources is a welcome refuge from which recording of Cantate Domino is best. Or Jazz at the Pawnshop. 

Horowitz, definitely.  Rubenstein also deserves an honorable mention.  And Wild's "reckless abandon." 

Rictor?  Well, OK.  He's maybe in the top 5.
