Isao Tomita comes to mind as a solo keyboardist as well and has an extensive library.

Tomita's Chicks really cracks me up.  A man not known for original works but worthy of kudos for original interpretations.

 
And his version of The Firebird Suite is massive ... and probably the most visible example of the beginning of psychedelia in music .... totally awesome and out there. Even Stravinsky's own versions of his directing his own work are not as good as this version is. It really brings the insanity in the music to life like the original can't.
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I was thinking about this recently, I think Vangelis has given me greater highs musically but overall I'd have to go with Jarre, great performer too.Smile
You must be joking.....Take a running jump......

LOL
 
I really think that his albums all the way to Holst's The Planets are magnificent ... and his version of The Rite of Spring is out of this world and probably the best one, and the most faithful rendition of it there ever was and I would have loved to see what the man himself thought of it ... even he would have probably said ... wow ... all of a sudden my music has more in it that I even thought of ... !
