If you want crazy: 
. 

This is a worthy pianist.  Doctoral student at Juilliard, currently on leave, I believe, to tour the world.  Among his accomplishments are an incredible Scriabin disk, a Hammerklavier that surpasses every recording I've ever heard, and a Barber sonata which is just out of this world. 

I particularly like his control- he can work with the most awkward passages imaginable (Barber, Beethoven, Mendelssohn sonatas) and produce without flaw.

Actually, it's live from the 2004 Van Cliburn.  Not studio, which makes it even more impressive.

He's a mormon, though, so he wouldn't like you swearing.
