Famous Pianist Ludwig van Beethoven (Germany, 1770-1827). The great composer first became well-known as a piano virtuoso in his day, with a powerful and direct playing style Arthur Rubinstein (Poland, 1887-1982). A charming old world personality combined with a well-traveled, well-read intellectual, and of course a master pianist. Rubinstein's powerful, golden interpretations are filled with the joy of music, and made him one of the most famous pianists of the 20th century Georges Cziffra (Hungary, 1921-1994). Cziffra's explosive, fiery playing was perhaps a reflection of his colorful life. He performed in circuses, was a tank commander in WW2, and suffered injustice in a labor camp for several years. He was noted for his lightning-fast interpretations of virtuoso showpieces and his improvisation skills Dinu Lipatti (Romania, 1917-1950). Lipatti was an astonishingly talented virtuoso, who tragically died at the age of 33 from cancer. He left a small handful of recordings (about 5 CDs), with deeply inspiring interpretations of Chopin. Perhaps one of the most naturally gifted pianists ever to have lived.
