Veit Bach-a baker who found his greatest pleasure in a little cittern which he took with him even into the mill and played while the grinding was going on. In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach

[Matisse] was interested neither in fending off opposition,
nor in competing for the favor of wayward friends.
His only competition was with himself. — Françoise Gilot

Nice stuff! You know you have too many recordings when you have to go home to check and see if you own some of these.

A couple of classics at Carnegie Hall...

[asin]B0000CF314[/asin][asin]B00005427H[/asin]
The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils.
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus.
Let no such man be trusted.

-- William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice

Hélène Grimaud, Mozart, Berg, Liszt, Bartok




Sarge
the phone rings and somebody says,
"hey, they made a movie about
Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."
                               --Charles Bukowski, "Mahler"

I have only one album that meets the criteria :o. Luckily, it's a good one.

Now, if two pianists were allowed, I could add Argerich's duos with Pletnev & Freire.
