I love the "old-style-pianists" so much more than most of the pianists of our time. No vanity in their music, just pure soul. Vazsonyi has become one of my favourite pianists with this recording.

@Refamire30 have you a notes to this piece??

Anybody have a notes?

Amazing piece, wow!!!! :)

[Refamire30]

Do you mean the score? No, unfortunately not anymore. But you can rent the score in any library of conservatories. That's what I did, too.

@AnnMarry19 - The score, along with thousands of others, is available for free at the Internet Music Score Library Project.

Wonderful!!! We should be be very greatful to this great musician , not only because of he was the biographer of his master Ernö Dohnányi, but also because of he was clearly a messenger of Dohnányi's spirit, having been his last pupil.

An artist with such impeccable taste! He must have been a very pieceful man. Thank you very much for sharing this recording!

[schaplikov]

amazing performance, of amazing music..

[chlagaguel]

Un parfait joyau . L'oeuvre est absolument magnifique et l'interprétation de Vazsonyi atteint la perfection pas sa justesse de toucher et sa sincérité musicale.

Bravissimo, maestro !

Thank you Balint, for everything.

[englishplayer40]

wonderful playing.

Even after a few notes I felt this was a rare pianist. I must admit I never heard of him before, even though I am a professional pianist, and I wonder why he is not more known. What he is doing in this recording is piano playing of a very high order. Not because of remarkable speed or anything else technical. Vazsonyi goes far beyond technique. This music *is* technically difficult, but I never realized it until afterwards. I only heard one thing. Every note radiates humanity.

Heey driemaaldrommels,

Arcadi Volodos speelt dit stuk ook in zijn optreden 2 dec 2007 in Amsterdam. Moet je even op meesterpianisten,nl kijken als je geinteresseerd bent. Is in ieder geval mijn favoriete pianist en idd een prachtig stukje muziek.

[driemaaldrommels]

bedankt voor de info!

[newvinny52]

Thanks Richard! former student. I recall hearing his recording on Pye of the Brahms variations. Such poetry!

Such character lies behind such music making...this is NOT MERELY fine piano playing as people frequently state.

This is a personal statement full of personal integrity that FEW humans dare to live!

Here's to Balint and the great human being he is!

Thank you Balint!

[caitlinaad]

Brings back such lovely memories.  Thank you!

Kathy (former student of Balint)
