The Greatest Living Pianist?

Stephen Hough is very good, but by comparison, Martha Argerich makes him sound like a crashing, pedantic bore. SHE is the best and greatest living pianist.
 
Marc-Andre Hamelin. Phenomenal technique, intelligent, intense and not afraid to tackle some difficult repertoire.
 
Yes, I've heard Marc-Andre Hamelin play Alkan. Not many pianists would do that! Another truly magnificent pianist is Boris Berezovsky.

Stephen Hough is magnificent playing Mompou's piano music but Martha Argerich playing solo or chamber music is an unforgettable experience. For those interested: Deutsche Grammophon is releasing a budget box with her complete solo recordings (8CDs) next week (U$20.00 on MP3 at Amazon and a bit more on CD)

Agree 100%! Marc-André Hamelin has an impressive technique and repertoire. I've been listening to his Alkan among other CDs of his (Kapustin, etc) and the guy is amazing.

Other favorites in no order: András Schiff, Pierre-Laurent Aimard and among the younger generation Alexandre Tharaud, Piotr Anderszewski and Boris Berezovsky.

Vladimir Ashkenazy - he is only conducting now but what a superb artist he is.

I'd say me but that would be totally wrong of me.

I'd have to say Martha Argerich. She's like the queen of piano!
 
I absolutely love her recordings of Rachmaninoff's 3rd piano concerto.

They're in my myspace profile. Add me.

I am not on Myspace or any of those type of sites.

I tend just to listen to baroque these days but I still like Schumann and Mozskowski.

Martha's Chopin prelude 16 was the first performance by her that blew me away.

I find Glenn Gould's Bach a bit to rigid. Martha's definitely a romantic

just do a youtube search with her and rachmaninoff's 3rd piano concerto
 
I saw Marc-Andre not too long ago, and he amazed me.

My vote is for Yann Tiersen, most famous for his work on Amelie. His works are so passionate and breath-taking, though it might be simple. Here is what I think is his best work to date, titled "L'absente":

 
Here is Hough at a BBC Prom 2001 in Rachmaninov:



The album that brought him fame on this side of the pond was his 1986 Chandos recording of 2 piano concertos - opus 85 and 89 - by Hummel.

It won the Gramophone "Record Of The Year", and is, quite simply, one of the greatest - and best-selling - classical music albums ever. It's still available. It is total brilliance and joy from the first note to the last.
