Agreed a miraculous recording. This is an unprecedented historical moment for an artistic performance under extreme circumstances. The top military force in the world held at bay by heros long enough for a stellar performance and subsequent escape. Bravo !
An amazing historical document of Cziffra playing this concerto on the eve of the Hungarian uprising. He never to played it again. It's a pity he never recorded the work commercially as he performs it with great style and virtuosity.
Thank you for the upload, by knowing the background of the performance, it is very meaningful and it is a miracle that the recording exists. The music surely may express the feelings of Cziffra, it was during that auspicious occasion, a frightening memory of the 1956 revolution and his second escape, that time successfully.
October 22. Not November.
