"I think Michelangeli in some repertory is absolutely incredible, especially Debussy. One special favorite of mine is Géza Anda who I think is such an underrated pianist and a great musician. A lot of young people don’t know him. There was such a natural way of making music in what he does. He was spontaneous, so alive, totally without makeup, and so honest. Without being shy, he takes risks. His playing is a wonderful combination of intellect and intuition. And, of course, I adore Lipatti, the best of Schnabel, and Horowitz at his best. He orchestrated at the piano."
