For the pantheon -

Cortot
Schnabel
Goode
Janis
Rosina Lhevinne
Lipatti - oops.. but he deserves a second mention.
Rachmaninoff

For the freak wing -
Godowsky (just for the transcriptions)
Busoni - there are piano-roll recordings available.
Josef Lhevinne
Argerich - oh yes.. freaky...
and numerous other craaaaazy pianists.

Ogdon is definitely in there, along with Simon Barere And I apologize for the grievous omissions of Cortot and Schnabel.

I was referring to pianistic prowess, but that would certainly qualify Mr. Gulda for his own padded cell.
