Who is the best classical pianist alive?

Who would you choose as the best classical pianist alive. Mi list include:

Perahia, Zimmerman, Kissin, Ashkenazy, Pletnev, Pollini, Argerich, etc.

But you can add more to this list.

I leaning towards Pollini as the best today. Do you think there is a better one?

So many tremndous artists, those mentioned and others. Two to add: Brendel, Lupu. In recent years I heard each give recitals that were among the most satisfying, utterly captivating, bits of music making I've ever heard.

Angela Hewitt must be added to the list. Her Bach is outstanding as is Perahia's.

I don't know who 'the best' is, but while surfing tonight I hit the Ms. America show-- and I can tell you Miss Georgia is the most attractive classical pianist.

Zoltan Kocsis is probably best when it is about Bartók. Andras Schiff also outstanding pianist.
