I have a hard time gauging how well known the pianists I like are. I feel like not enough people know about Annie Fischer, but is she underrated?
I personally think it's rare that someone with incredible talent (with interesting interpretations etc.) goes completely unnoticed. I don't really think there are unknown Horowitzes lurking around. However I definitely think that some pianists don't get as much exposure as they ought to, but if you dig deep enough, you'll usually find them, and they will have a niche following.
Francisco Mignone (actually his wife too) , but Frank isore renowned for his composing but he was an much like other greats a pianist first , a dang good.one which helped his piano composing and why so much of his output has that virtuousic flair, sort of a on bit smaller scale a sort of Brazilian Liszt His miniatures and smaller dance pieces are a pure delight , his wife playing them usually sets benchmark but here is a rare recording of him playing his own (sorta like those videos we have of Kapustin doing his own pieces etc )
NojimaFiorentinoMeyerCurrent generation: BozhanovAll of them deserve more exposure than they receive(d).
Never heard of any of them. Can you post some good recordings?
Alexander ScriabinGerald FinziClara Schumann
Unfortunately we have no recorded accounts of Scriabin or Clara Schumann (I haven't heard of the third pianist) so we can't actually tell if they are underrated or not. Wasn't Clara quite celebrated in her time?
