Not really a "pianist" but, I'd like to hear Bach improvise. 

[outin]

Anton Rubinstein

[thalbergmad]

Dreyschock.

[coda_colossale]

Rubinstein indeed.
And well, he actually recorded, but I'd like to see Rachmaninoff's Scriabin-only concerts live.

[goldentone]

Beethoven and Liszt are the first on my list.

[ronde_des_sylphes]

The Liszt v Thalberg duel! Also Alkan playing his own works.

[outin]

Rubinstein indeed.
And well, he actually recorded,

He did? I only know his voice was recorded on Block cylinders, but haven't heard of any piano playing?

If I think about the ones who did record, of course I'd like to hear ABM live. Such a pity I missed him when he was in Helsinki 1969 

[coda_colossale]

He did?

I was talking about

Rachmaninoff

[timothy42b]

Joyce Hatto.

[outin]

I was talking about

Oh, now I get it

[j_menz]

Joyce Hatto.

She did actually record (I mean actually her). This one is live, but there are studio recordings around too.

[amytsuda]

Clara Schumann.

By the way, do you guys think this YouTube of Scriabin playing his own Sonata No 2 is authentic? I am just diving into all sorts of Scriabin now, and found this. Very different from Sofronitsky.

I would like to hear Liszt and Rubinstein. I read in a book about (Rubinstein's) pedaling, that the pedal was Liszt's only weak point, and that it was someone primitive. It said that the way Rubinstein was able to compete with him was with his "futuristic" use of pedal. And just by looking at Liszt's pedal marks, one can assume Rubinstein was correct in his criticism.

She did actually record (I mean actually her).

Yeah, I know, I was trying to be funny.

She also has a huge collection of recordings attributed to her that she didn't make.

[bronnestam]

Beethoven improvising ...
