This is one of the coolest things ever....

Ghosts don't count. They get to have more time to practice.

EDIT: I think David Sides is pretty good when it comes to accuracy. He's pretty good at playing hiphop songs on the piano.

Sofronitsky was a brilliant Scriabinist, as was Horowitz, whose vivid tone and endearing sentimentality lent a unique sense of identity to his performances. Both Richter and Rubinstein were communicative geniuses, the former able to evoke emotion with sublime phrasing and phenomenal touch, and the latter capable of building atmosphere with magnificent lyricism and superbly natural rubato. Cliburn was exceptionally expressive as well, his famous victory in Moscow an enduring testament to his outstanding musicality. As for fire and passion, Gilels has few equals. Finally, as far as present pianists go, Kissin and Blechacz have proved quite promising for their age, and Hamelin has established himself as a master of technique and improvisation.

i somehow forgot about kissin

The best pianist I have ever seen is definitely Hamelin. (He composed the Circus Gallop that has been posted in this thread.)
