Hamelin plays Liszt - Paganini Etude No. 1 (live) Audio + Sheet music

[s1earle]

Another hearing and I am convinced to bracket this performance with the excellent rendition by Ponti; both have a 'feeling' for the music and ignore the technics (pretty similar to Backhaus in his playings) - the best version before the Public today.

Of the 6 set this is my choice for the better etude, and to boot the rendition is first-rate - Mr Hamelin's reputation for virtuosity is absolutely correct! (I had closed my eyes and thought that this might be the earlier performance of Kentner!)

All these are so much better than that studio recording he made of the same set of etudes. Thank you!
