Favourite Pianist

[Herman]

Just wondering who you fellows believe to be the best pianist of all time?

For me: Allesandro Scarlatti, the Italian opera composer. He was born in Palermo. His famous son was Domenico Scarlatti, the composer of many piano sonatas and other compositions. Allesandro was also considered the founder of the Neapolitan School of music of the eighteenth century.

Thoughts?

Regards,

Herman
