Goodness, I'm sure if you look up the word 'virtuosity', you would see these names pop up:

Sergi Rachmaninoff
Josef Hofmann
Arthur Rubinstein
Van Cliburn
Franz Liszt
Ignaz Paderewski
Oscar Peterson
Glenn Gould
Sviatoslav Richter
Evgeny Kissin

and my personal favorites David Lanz and Dudley Moore.

Yes I do love classical, jazz, blues, and new age as u can probably tell. I play piano myself but, if I could rip off any hands and replace it with mine I would choose one of those guys or even Liberace. Some of those people were just unbelieveable. Talk about virtuosity, geez..........

Harry Connick Jr. and Richard Carpenter. Certainly not the greatest but they're pretty good too.
