Who can name all 8 pianists here playing Korsakov's Bumblebee?

I saw Lang Lang, Kissin, Andsnes, and Ax.  Who else was there?  There are 8.

What do you guys think of this?  Sort of fun, eh?

In all there were 10 pianists participating in that Verbier 10th Anniversary Festival  -- and between thalberg and michael 6 have been covered. Those left out are

Nicolas Angelich
Claude Frank
Staffan Scheja &
Martha Argerich (who would have been easily spotted if she was in the "Bumble Bee")

The overall lighting is very poor (I just got the DVD on RCA Red Seal) and it is indeed difficult to get to see the faces.
