Question

Who are some good pianists? i don't want real old stuff. so modern day piano pieces.?

Answer 1

Well let's see... modern day pianists since composers have been covered.

Lang Lang, William Joseph, Jim Brickman(easy listening), David Foster(also composes very lyrical pieces), Jean Yves-Tibaudet, Dario Marianelli, Ludovico Einaudi

Answer 2

Good pianists and good piano pieces rarely go hand in hand. Most pianists don't compose music. They simply master what has already been written, from Beethoven to Bolling (semi-modern) to Glass (modern). There a very few good composers and, likewise, some composers don't play nearly as well as they write.

Are you asking who are some good composers of piano music?

Fairly modern composers: Rachmaninoff, Bolling (cool classical jazz), Dvorak, Ives, Copland, Schoenberg.

Modern composers: Michael Slaughter, Liz Story (cool new age music), Phillip Glass (minimalist music), Loren Robert DiGiorgi, Constantin von Sternberg (cool Russian composer), Emma Lou Diemer (new age classical), Nancy Bloomer Deussen (modern composer combining classical with blues, jazz, etc.)
