I restricted this list to only classical players since that is my specialty. There are countless pianists in other genres such as jazz, new age, blues, ragtime and more who are also world-class.
There are SO many great pianists! I can’t believe I just discovered Kirill Gerstein who will be performing at Severance Hall soon an incredible program with Schumann Carnaval, the Liszt B-minor Sonata and Ravel La Valse. We are going!
