My favorites:1. Marc-andre Hamelin (My absolute favorite as well.)2. Arcadi Volodos (Superhuman perfection and attention to detail, while still being delicate and passionate.)3. Mikhail Pletnev (Raw musical ability and technique. Never lets me down.)5. Andras Schiff (Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and Brahms interpretations near magical in their effectiveness.)5. Daniil Trifonov (Lively and playful piano playing, not afraid to take risks and breath new life into classic repertoire.)
