Hmm well, having to choose among the above, I would say that Hoffman would come first, with Richter and Horowitz shortly after in the same position.
I am a die-hard Horowitz fanatic.RnB
Hofmann's technique/mechanique is cleaner.
I agree with you a fair bit.I have always felt that Horowitz was more of a compsoer and a romantic. Since that is my tendancy anyhow, I can understand him better than any other pianist. Besides, I this that even in the 1980's you could feel this inner electricity coming out by the bucket load.RnB
The license to do with the music whatever you want, should be so, but I would not go as far as to say one is recomposing a piece.
