What are some good pianists, other than Chopin?

  • Pianists or composers who wrote for piano? Either way, there are many great pianists ad composers.

    Best composers (speaking strictly in terms of how "pianistic" they wrote) would probably be Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Liszt, Debussy.

    As for pianists, personally I love Richter, Horowitz, Argerich, Lipatti, Barenboim, Brendel, Perahia, Lupu, Ashkenazy, Kapell, Pletnev, Gilels, Gavrilov, Volodos Cziffra, Anda Geza, Kissin... and I'm sure I'm missing quite a few... have a look here:

  • Well, Chopin is more like a composer instead of pianist... But, composer-wise I recommend Rachmaninov.


  • Liszt is amazing!

  • all are good pianists... just depend which one u like
    for me personally Chopin music is fantastic but not easy to play. Rachmaninoff also ..


  • Oh, I thought Chopin was the ONLY classical pianist, judging by some morons' answers in here.


  • If you are talking more recent, I really like Billy Joel and Elton John, they play piano like a percussion instrument. Since it is one. :)


  • Mozart and Liszt. Arthur Rubinstein although not a composer was a prolific pianist and the acknowledged best interperter of Chopin. Horowitz was also a memorable pianist. Rubinstein could study a score on a train to performance and sit down and play it in concert.


  • Liszt is amazing!

    Here are some Pianists:

    Rachmaninoff
    Ravel
    Mozart (of course!)
    Haydn
    Clementi
    Beethoven
    Schubert
    Brahms
    Saint Saens
    Mendelsshon
    Faure
    Tchaikovsky
    Grieg
    Schumann

    I've got plenty more!



  • No living person has heard Chopin as there were no recordings in his lifetime. He known mostly as a composer.
    Of the pianists I have heard my favorites are:
    Brendel
    Perahia
    Zimerman
    Ashkenazy
    Hamelin
    Pollini
