what about Vitaly Pisarenko?
da 2011 Pimp comp winnah. Randomly, a LEGIT Lisztian, altho… I didn’t quite like his playing when I heard him lie in NYC - maybe he was jetlagged?
Had sum fakerudyz and sounded bored as hell and underpracticed 
He was not that interesting during the Liszt competition but I love his Dante son he has on his youtube channel from a few years later:

His channel has been inactive for the last four years though, not a good PR move. You have to keep uploading stuff or the public will think you’re retired.
At least he has a website, unlike Neuburger.
Speaking about Volodos, he was supposed to play in Zagreb in November 2016. This time stupid guys here in the local agency cancelled to him like few weeks before. They didn’t have money or something like that, but anyway it was stupid move.
Now when he signed with Franco, Sokolov’s manager, I hope he’ll play more. Franco is proud on that fact and immediately offer him to Croatia.
Speaking abou Sgouros, he played in Zagreb in 2006 Rach 2. It was boring. In the same time, one pianist who is not very famous gave fantastic recital here - Bruno Leonardo Gelber. Four Scarlatti sonatas, Beethoven Pastoral sonata and Brahms 3rd sonata. Really good.
Yes, I’ve heard some good recordings from Gelber.
Yes good call on Gelber. Look for his live recording of the Brahms PC1, probably still on YouTube, best I ever heard alongside Kapell. Interesting eyebrows too.
A pianist that I admire and who seems to be completely forgotten even when he was alive is British pianist John Bingham (1942-2003). I heard him live once. IMO he was one of Britain’s finest, but he never had the big career because he wasn’t very interested in fame. Studied with Craxton, N. Boulanger and S. Neuhaus. If anyone has recordings to share, that would be great. Here’s his obituary: independent.co.uk/news/obitu … 37628.html
I’ve never heard of him. Interesting he studied with Stanislav N. Seems hard to find a special Brit pianist, Grosvenor very much an exception IMO.
I guess it depends on what you mean by special but Stephen Hough has had a pretty big career.
There’s Barry Douglas too, although I’ve never really listened to him much.
In any case you’re faring better than us, we’ve got Piers Lane, Lesbo and Madge. 
One of Bingham’s pupils wrote an interesting article about him:
davidbrainpiano.co.uk/biogra … al-mentors
This story sounds mysterious:
" I [= Bingham] was playing the B flat minor Sonata some years ago alone in Chopin’s birthplace and when I got to this passage all the windows blew in and the doors flew open."
