I agree his playing demonstrates uncommon excellence -- near perfect control. He probably played wonderfully as a small child.
Comparisons between ourselves and others are always odious. So is the lamentable practice of pitting established artists against one another as though they were running the Indy 500, instead of performing musical art with understanding and expertise.
Time won't make you a virtuoso. The right kind of hard work may -- or may not. Talent well-trained is the primary need.
Wonderfully clean technique. Complete control without being ponderous. Of course, including the repeats provides opportunity to add modest ornamentation, thereby showing difference between each rendition.
LIGEREZA, PRECISION, CONTROL, SONIDO Y PASION.....
FELICITACIONES!!!!!!

I just watched Cziffra playing this, so naturally I thought THIS recording would be awful. Turns out I'm wrong. Wow. Fantastic!!

WOW, that was FANTASTIC!!!
he was about 20-23 yrs old there so that means in another 7-10 more years when i reach the age 20-23 yrs old i might be as good as him. :D
