I like this play, both the music and the pianist.
Valentina Lisitsa plays Rachmaninoff Etude Op. 39 No. 6 "Little Red Riding Hood".

Lola Astanova
Youtube homepage: http://www.youtube.com/user/LolaAstanova
This is a very passionate young pianist with amazing skills, power and speed. She's also good in composition. The following two are in the style of Rachmaninoff and Prokofiev, which in her words, is a kind of music joke of distorted baroque/classical arrangement.
Here's her version on Rihanna's "Don't stop the music":

I can listen to this many times without stop, without feel bored.
Another one of her version on Madonna's "Music":

Rachmaninoff Moment Musicaux No. 4 in E:

Lola was born in former USSR. She started learning piano at 6 and began on-stage performance at 8. She received MS in piano major from Rice University and now resides in New York.
Other very good young female pianists include Valentina Lisitsa and Valentina Igoshina. But I'd prefer Lola Astanova.

Adiemus
What is "Adiemus"?
It's the title of a series of albums by British composer Karl Jenkins.
See wiki page on Adiemus.
I like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aL8kZ-iVk90
I have heard this music at a bookstore but couldn't find out what music it was.
Now I know.
