Two other notables to add to the 'missing' list are Andrei Gavrilov and Ivo Pogorelich, both of whom attracted degrees of praise and approbrium in almost equal measure. Both were mercurial artists when young and health issues played a part in their decline. However, on a good day I'd be very happy to sit with either or both as they played, weaving their particular magic.
I'm pleased to say that Gavrilov was over in UK recently giving recitals and teaching at that well-known conservatoire The Red Hedgehog in Highgate. Pogorelich appears from time to time, shaven-headed and a pale shadow but there is youtube evidence of the old magic.

He died tragically young.
This set is great but it's the only recording of his that I have .
This is almost his full set of recordings:

He was diagnosed with AIDS there and apparently, having gathered some friends together for a party, quietly took some hemlock and died.

There are several of his recordings on Spotify, including some Brahms violin sonatas with Emmy Verhey. I can post links if needed.
There are also a few on Napster - such as http://www.napster.co.uk/artist/yuri...master-pianist
