The Quiet Revolutionary of the Piano – Fauré’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street
In the pantheon of French music, Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) often seems a paradox—an innovator cloaked in restraint, a Romantic by birth who shaped the contours of modern French music with quiet insistence. Piano Street now provides sheet music for his complete piano works: a body of music that resists spectacle, even as it brims with invention and brilliance. Read more

What's you're favorite pianist over the last 100 years?

"What's you're favorite pianist over the last 100 years?"

Mine is " Vladimir Horowitz " Sergei Rachmaninoff " Glenn Gould " !

I would like too add Edvard Grieg too if that's not to much on the edge , but he did some recordings in 1903 and 1906.

Far too many:

-Glenn Gould
-Vladimir Horowitz
-Idil Biret
-Konstantin Scherbakov
-Sviatoslav Richter
-Sergei Rachmaninoff

And my two past piano teachers and a friend of the Conservatory where I used to study. In my opinion he has done the best interpretation of Ginastera´s first sonata.

Hi,

Some pianists who quickly come to my mind:

Hamelin, Ashkenazy, Volodos(with his Rach 3), Gilels, Pogorelich, Katsaris.

It is so hard to mention favorite ones. There are so many faboulous pianists whom I would like to mention. Bu these have created strong emotions and had me under their influence for a while.

To me - Maurizio Pollini is the absolute winner. The man is brilliant.
