I also own Argerich's recording, but cannot say I know it. Arkhivmusic.com lists more than three dozen recordings of this work, which has attracted the interest of many a legendary pianist.  If I were to collect a selection of them for comparative listening with Pollini's, I'd certainly be be curious to hear any by Richter, Ashkenazy, Argerich, Pletniev, Horowitz, Berman, Bronfman or Sokoloff.  Perhaps other fans of the piece will recommend their favorites.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35454870/1712659896231947555/comments/default/5818774154596791252'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35454870/1712659896231947555/comments/default/5818774154596791252'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://spiveyhall.blogspot.com/2009/02/plethora-of-great-pianists.html?showComment=1234065180000#c5818774154596791252' title=''/><author><name>Spivey Hall</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13979846744257304342</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='03382538240548235654'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://spiveyhall.blogspot.com/2009/02/plethora-of-great-pianists.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35454870.post-1712659896231947555' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35454870/posts/default/1712659896231947555' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35454870.post-474371878642114975</id><published>2009-02-06T13:29:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-06T13:29:00.000-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Sam, is there a good recording ofProkofiev's Sonat...</title><content type='html'>Sam, is there a good recording of&lt;BR/&gt;Prokofiev's Sonata No. 7, subtitled "War Sonata No. 2: Stalingrad"?
