Suggestions?

Just wanted some new composers to listen to possible learn, Something interesting, piano mainly. Something along the lines of Alkan, chopin, Rachmaninoff, just the powerful romantic stuff.

Thanks

Rachmanioff is always good but try Prokofiev seventh sonata It is one of his 3 " war" sonatas and is powerful

[camstrings]

Scriabin 3rd sonata might fit the bill. Kissin & Gould are the versions I've heard.

Go listen to some Medtner.

Bortkiewicz and Rozycki are the first two composers that come to mind when the words powerful romantic are used.

Perhaps some Scharwenka as well.

Thal

Rubenstein strikes me as a good candidate, as in the composer Rubenstein, not the pianist.
