Extraordinary!! Perfect expression, absolute beauty, the spirit of Chopin in every note played.

[@qiweihuang5236]

One of the best Chopin intepreter

[@bachmaninoff2532]

Cziffra's surprisingly conservative tempo allows for beautiful clarity and dialogue between the different voices that I don't usually hear in this piece.

[@artygunnar]

This is my favorite Chopin

[@bryandyer5454]

Wonderful performance! And nice encore at the end too! (the impromptu isn't in the video title)

[@jimhall167]

Cziffra plays as if he were born with the necessary DNA sequences to play anything effortlessly. His playing is sublimely beautiful, artfully emotional, and technically perfect.

[@jimhall167]

I think perhaps William Kapell could have reached this level of artistry had he not suffered a tragic death.

[@bosiljkavujovic9376]

​@@jimhall167 try to listen Alexei Sultanov's interpretation! Thank you!

[@adyrsebastiaoferreira5572]

Soberbo! Magnífico! Cziffra - um dos maiores de todos os tempos!

[@Marinavalerevna]

Как он элегантен, великолепный Дьёрдь Циффра! ❤

[@EssenceGmod]

is the recording making this beautiful piano sound? or the piano and Cziffra does? Anyway, this is really beautiful and soft

[@francescololiva5826]

6:00 i don't think anyone play this section that good I listened to a lot of pianists rush through and don't express their emotions. Cziffra is just perfect (sorry for bad English)

[@EssenceGmod]

i agree

[@Askeys]

Thank you v much for posting.

[@LisztianGR]

The most ridiculous part is the extreme ease he displays in performing the Scherzo. Technique-wise, it means absolutely nothing to him, and it shows so profoundly.

[@davidfernandonoriega8091]

Desacuerdo

[@yonggiWOO]

Amazing......

[@HHH-ec3ll]

SUPERBO!

rather abstract, but clean ...

Кто знает что у него на правом запястье шерстяная нить или какой-то браслет я на некоторых видео и фото замечаю такое и ходили слухи что он не однократно переигрывал руки в процессе занятии...

Le plus grand...

[@dustovshio]

had no idea this song was so long

[@Cr4ntz]

He plays another piece in the end

[@dustovshio]

ok so I'm guessing the fantasy in f the polonaise andante spianato are his longest solo pieces after the sonatas. @@Cr4ntz

[@goktugblack]

This monster of a piece is too easy for Cziffra.

[@player1giogamer93]

there is no argue cziffra is one of the best pianist ever existed and his professionality is meyond imagination but i personally had lack of emotions at cadanse in this performance... but still this performance is amaizing may i didn't fully understand it

[@bludika]

Shut up

[@cziffrathegreat666]

Every interpretation is unique, and maybe yes, you didn't understand his style yet but you surely will one day completely!. Personally I find it breathtaking and unique! Its very beautiful too and the encore is wonderful and fantastic too!

[@marksmith3947]

I don't usually hear the criticism that Cziffra is cool. It's interesting to note that Cziffra's classmate in conservatory was Bela Siki, who definitely played Chopin rather coolly--although perfect like Cziffra. Incidentally I think Cziffra played the best Liszt B minor sonata that I have heard. That's not because of his breathtaking virtuosity ; rather, he kept the musical impulse going better than anyone else. I believe this is because he paid more attention to phrasing in the easier passages, ironically.
