Famous pianists on this forum

[franz_]

I was thinking. We are all pianist, or most of us, some of us or even professional. But no one is world famous. So I thought, may be Kissin is on this forum, or Volodos or Lugansky.
Would be a funy situation, that we are critisizing pianiste here, and one of the greatest pianists on earth is chatting with us.

Johnathan Powell and Ian Pace are members, albeit infrequent posters.

I have a feeling maybe one will become famous. Hopefully more.

Very unlikely.

Do you even know who Jonathan Powell is?!

Pardon me.  I was referring to the post topic: "Famous pianists..."

Jonathan Powell and Ian Pace have careers, and are professional, but they are not famous, like Kissen and Volodos.

I might not be as naive as you think, actually.

  Well you know, thats the thing about classical piano music, you dont need to be famous or rich. All you need is a piano, some talent and a teacher.
    I've been on this forum for almost a year and only 2 pianists seem to have the ability but are not world famous like Kissin or Lang Lang.

But even Kissin or Lang Lang can walk in the street without beeing recognised. Today, who is interest in classical music?
By the way, isn't Koji a fulltime professional either?

I'd defy Kissen to walk down the street in NY and not be accosted.

I keep hearing people say this but is there actual proof? has he made any posts? I wonder how in the world he found the sdc. I'd be even more surprised if he wasn't scared off.

[shoenberg3]

Extremely strong evidence

1) IP  indicated an Italian location

2) The email he registered with (not viewable beside sto moderators) is distintively his. Knar and i know even more hilarious information regarding his email (and this CONFIRMS his identity but i cannot reveal what it is here)

3) His username I found that it was name of an opera he is working onm, after a long search in google.

4) He has made 8 or so posts. His english is not good, that's probably why he left. But he made quite humorous posts, one of htem regarding the size of his ...

[brewtality]

*. What's the username? I wanna read his posts.

In their style they are super stars like Elvis or Elton John.

I've met one of their fathers.
