Hoping to hear JT in Feldman's For Philip Guston in Huddersfield on the 21st. I didn't think it right for me to promote an old friend re. this thread though. Only too happy to concur with you nomination however.

[aeolium]

A few pianists that aren't on that list that I think are worth hearing:

Edwin Fischer
Tatiana Nikolaeva
Mieczyslaw Horszowski
Andor Foldes
John Lill
Stephen Osborne

If Britten is included as an accompanist, then perhaps other fine accompanists or chamber music pianists like Lamar Crowson, Gerald Moore or Eugene Istomin could be considered.
