Amazing jazz pianist and he also play classical music.

Do you like him?

The masterpiece tell the performer what to do, and not the performer telling the piece what it should be like, or the cocomposer what he ought to have composed.

Yes.

There are some nice recordings of him playing stuff with other pianists too; Jarrett, Hancock and Gulda (IIRC).

I love his recording of the Mozart 23rd concerto with Bobby Mc Ferrin directing.... of course, now the Mozart purists can eat my head off.

Chic Corea is an incredible jazz pianist, but I have never heard him play classical piano.

In the jazzband at school, we covered La Fiesta; it was excellent.

I also requested Spain, but it didn't happen.

I have a cd of him playing Rhapsody in Blue and other Gershwin. He does a good job.
