Liszt would have loved the ending!

I agree with Pletnev and Richter (maybe Gilels) but the others, no, I can not see the logic. And what the hell is with Previn? he was hardly a pianist, why was he included?
-
Berman was excluded, so were Feinberg, Flier, Grinberg, Neuhaus, Oborin....but they INcluded Ashkenazy, Bruk & Taimanov, Gavrilov, Gilels, Ginsburg, Pletnev, Richter, Yudina...can you understand the logic? I can't!
-
Would you happen to know if they included Lazar Berman on it?
-
Une pure merveille.
-
Great music!!!
-
OMG unbelievable. This is just about the best playing I've ever heard, and by a huge distance the best of this piece. A revelation.
-
This piano has a Bechsteinian sound to it up top although i know Benno was a Steinway man. I love the ending. Probably off-the-cuff but it reminds me of Kreisler-Rachmaninoff Liebeslied ending(?) This performance is famous for a reason.

True. How could I miss this... ;-)

Moiseiwitch was one of the most elegant and natural, spontaneous pianists of the 20th century, and clearly belonged to the Romantic period.
This playing is superb, very fluent and with free approach (he plays an altered ending here), long singing lines and colour, passion, lyricism and clarity.
In short, this interpretation belongs to the 20 or so best Liszt-recordings ever.

Oh yes, you are entirely correct on both counts. The finest, thin woods; real leather and ivory; superb craftsmanship, with each piano taking a long time to build. Each piano had its own personality. Of course, the pianists in those days were giants; I count Moisiewitsch one of the very greatest of all because he played everything as a great singer would sing it. I don't think I've ever heard one banged note from his hands. May this YouTube clip stay forever as a lesson to all aspiring pianists!
