Rudolf Serkin rudolf serkin. To name one single pianist who combined the extremities of intuition and intellect, I would choose rudolf serkin. http://home.netvigator.com/~joelamkt/serkin.html
Extractions: When he played, Serkin was always restless and totally absorbed. If he were possessed, it would be by the soul of the composer. He was so determined to play as fast as he could as if he feared he had not enough time to speak all his words. As in his classic recording of the Brahms Piano Concerto No.1 with George Szell, the first movement was taken at a nearly impossible speed. But the urgency is telling. The articulation and the stunning double notes were done so immaculately. His a bit awkward techique was afterall pretty remarkable. Perhaps, his negligence of surface decoration allowed his full attention to be given to throwing out what was in his heart. The second movement was filled with a trully romantic ardor, though as expected of Serkin, the sound is a bit dry. He never trully played 'softly'. He wanted every note to register its presence. He understood each one of them as a friend and he did not smooth them out. Recently, Sony has reissued his unreleased recordings of nine Beethoven sonatas(SM3K 64490). They include the last three masterpieces. Those last works of Beethoven are real gems and in them Serkin threw off his best. Toward the end of his career, his repertoire narrowed to only Beethoven, Mozart and Schubert. Sometimes music lovers find his playing 'almost too serious'; but no one should regret for his growth in wisdom and revelation. At his 80th Birthday, he played the last three Beethoven sonatas in Vienna. The performance showed his age and mortality. But the spirit of the performance is immortal. The white-hot concentration was the result of single-minded dedication and absorption in the world of Beethoven. As with his Mozart's concertos recorded about this time, they may not be the 'standard recommendation' in the 'standard' CD guides. But what they offer is a unique personality : a wise and passionate pianist who never pretended.

Korean Rudolf Serkin(28th Mar. 1903~8th May 1991) [ The piano has always been less interesting to me than the music ] Curriculum Vitae [ Photo from Philips Homepage Many pianists begin as solist, but turn to other way(chamber musician or vocal accompanist) after they know the talent of their own are not proper to solist. The opposite cases are so rare, in which I think Rudolf Serkin perhaps succeeded most. Furthermore, he is one of the most outstanding example of a professional musical family in 20th century. Rudolf Serkin was born in Eger(Bohemia? Austria?) on 28th March 1903 in a Jewish Russian family. He was taught music by father(singer) and moved to Vienna at nine, where piano by Richard Robert and composition by Joseph Marx(then George Szell was among his pupil, and the two musician coworked in many recordings later in USA). Rudolf was hailed as a child prodigy as he played Mendelssohn's concerto with Vienna Philharmonic at twelve, but he started regular concert carrier in 1920. It is said that his connection with Busch family was in 1920, also. (I heard this story that) Adolf Busch was seated at a concert by Rudolf. Busch was amazed by Rudolf's gifts and tried to meet him so as to ask his accompaniment, managing to meet Rudolf at train station shortly before Rudolf's leaving because he was disappointed by audiences' response. The two men, met by accident, had played for 32 years. Rudolf gave the Berlin d
