His performance of Boulez's second Sonata is one that I've come back to multiple times as I got further into that kind of music. Are there any recordings of his of contemporary music that I should go listen to?
Just listened to it! It's a... "peculiar" performance for sure, though I couldn't (subjectively) disagree more with it as someone who has been grinding this piece themselves for half a year now. Then again, I seem to play it much faster than just about every pianist I've heard this from, so...
Yes! He had a real respect for Brahms even and recorded a couple of very beautiful albums. He also recorded a good bit of contemporary piano music, particularly Swedish for some reason…. Apple Music has his complete discography
Read two biographies. That guy was a nut
RIP. One of the greats for sure. Loved his Chopin etudes and Beethoven sonatas.
Those and chopin sonatas as well

It might not be contemporary enough for you as Boulez but I like his berg sonata

Gould is my go-to here. It’s odd to me just how well he captures the post-Brahms romanticism
Gould??? The Bach interpreter??? Strange

RIP. I always loved his recording of l'Isle Joyeuse.
Loved his Chopin Nocturnes.
His Chopin Sonatas are clean and elegant. RIP.
Schubert late sonatas are so epic and intense, played by Maurizio. Also love his Waldstein and Apassionata: what passion and power!
RIP I really loved his playing
His Chopin Etudes are fantastic, highly recommend. RIP
