There is a wonderful, slightly abbreviated performance of this rarely-heard Rhapsody by the fiery Hungarian virtuosa Yolanda Mero on an IPAM CD, which leaves this interpretation somewhat in the shade. Mero had studied from the age of 8 in Budapest with Augusta Rennebaum - a Liszt pupil.
so yousee Wild and Bolet and Arrau sometimes had as much finesse andtechnique as HOROWITZ but they did not have that it quality that made everone else forget .Wild has charm and a magician.He also has it but perhaps Horowitz rec comp was good at keeping everone else's recs out of stores when I was a kid .
If you're still there mcmilld1, this is the Peabody Mason Concert series in Boston, 1986.

The Yolanda Mero recording is on gullivior's channel and certainly worth listening to.
