Even songs with little sound are classy

A delightful performance of a delightful work! Great!

I would have to practice hours and hours to be able to practice like that...

Cziffra is one of the very very few pianists who give a convincing account of the melody in the coda ! Masterful performance !

When Tamas Vasary heared Cziffra playing for the first time, he was convinced 2 pianists were playing on 2 grand pianos.

60years old… but best ❤

Where does this come from? How was it acquired? The more info the better…

60年ほど前に、ピアノのレッスンに夢中だった頃、レッスン友達から、このレコードを借りて、当時のSTEREOで毎日のように聴いていた。父母と過ごしていた暮し、友達と音楽を語り合って通学していた少女の頃が歳を重ねた今、再び同じ音源に巡り会えて、記憶も蘇ってきました。何て懐かしい日々、、、

At 0:57 of Wauchet auf, and again at 2:27, and 3:32, we hear the impossibly tender introduction of a melodic idea, then Bach's reiterations of the events leading to that notion, first as the weeping despair so characteristic of human endeavors, then in the improbable, but humanly inevitable, sound of hope. In these three moments we are served perfection of examples of a device well-known to every great composer, but only matched in Bach by Beethoven and Brahms: the supreme utility of melodic mode, triadic context and harmonic modulation that make tonality the gyri and sulci of music's emotional landscapes, the synergistic propulsion of its expressive powers. Tonality, harmonic development and 12-tone temperament are as the gearing ratios that inform Newton's Laws of Motion, aural emergent phase transitions of human reason as similarly evidenced by "Origin of Species." This is the combination mechanism raising the dry, mathematical exactitude on which music relies beyond a folk tune from hill folk to the deep sublimity of high art. When someone proudly boasts that their favorite pop musician didn't study music, or that many jazz greats could not read music, they are asking, to their uncomprehending embarrassment, "What's a phase transition? What's a gearing ratio? What's art?"

A superb rendition of this masterpiece.

Why does this just sound like a cziffra thing to play

Sweet lord

Listz realmente era diferente grande pianista

Oh wow.

Pourquoi il a pas une photo du vrai compositeur ?

There may be different views about Cziffra´s playing. But this one is second to none.

For me, out of all the recordings I have ever heard of this piece, this one is the most convincing musically. I have always found this piece really interesting with a lot of striking and memorable sonorities, but this Cziffra recording is the one that really brings it to life. The slightly faster tempo really brings out the otherwise osbcured melodic lines and ideas. I find Cziffra's take on the transition from lugubrious to luminous really uplifting. Thank you for sharing.

Impressive performance! I also recomend this ! kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2bbcmqIh5mZopY

This is legendary

Awesome

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Great to hear this. Thanks for uploading!

En dépit de mon mépris profond pour la musique, notamment du fait de ma propre ignorance en la matière et de l'assimilation trop facile avec les méfaits de la chanson, faut bien avouer que mes neurones n'ont jamais autant dansé quant écoutant cet interlude! A force de tourner en boucle ça en devient malsain xD Tout mon respect au cerveau qui a pondu ça et à tout ceux capable de le suivre.

Est-ce la version du récital de Besançon du 16 septembre 1961 ?

Masterly!!! Thank you.
