Martha Argerich's Lizst B-minor sonata got me into classical music years ago..and I have a chronical soft spot for Schubert and Gould's Bach

 

These days i'm into Prokofiev..Lugansky's 6th is really good & Haydn (check out Buchbinder!)

I love your tastes :D

Liszt B minor for me is Cziffra. Liszt reincarnate!

 

Bach I leaned away from Gould tatiana nikolayeva and sokolov are both fantastic and Murray Perahia's recording is just wow

Incidentally, as well as Linn Records above, an excellent site for high fidelity downloads of classical music is eclassical.com.

I beg you please stay away from the Lim it's horrendous. During my first listen through.. It went form ok to wth to wtf to WTF IS THIS to I am sorry beethoven i apologise

Perahia is best with Mozart.

Richter I find inconsistent but when he is on form WOW. Perahia too much pedal? What works are you referring to. Live he is electric.
