SDC Legendz Pianistz

Can we air some names of those who seemed exceedingly promising, only to fade and disappear near the start; and those who made little early impact, only later to imprint hugely on the scene?

For the first category, I’m thinking Gavrilov. Although I guess he was on the scene for more than a decade, it’s a pretty short career by pianists’ standards. Yundi Li also seems to have faded from view in recent years. Someone like Rubinstein fits the latter category, maybe Sokolov too.

First category Pierre Volondat comes to mind. Second, Bolet.

Nyiregyhazi, Bozhanov, Zecchi, Lund, Libetta… Maybe not disappeared, but if just failed to live up to expectations or burned out early is ok there’s quite a number of them here. I’d add Cliburn as well, also LL, Ogdon and to some extent d’Albert and Pogo who only remained a force for a relatively short time.

2 is less common, but aside from Brew’s & Erwin’s picks there’s Cherkassky, Ciccolini, Prats… eh… Ugorski….

I suppose someone like Lewenthal fits both categories.

I was actually wondering what happened to him recently. Bolet is an interesting one, I think his fame came too late; his tech had slipped and his playing had gotten stiff.
