Brilliant.

Cziffra is perhaps one of the most underappreciated pianists.

Cziffra brings out the shape of this piece better than anyone I've heard. He's not afraid to slow it down slightly to bring out the colors and dynamics. Exquisite!

@wouterpathetique hey!en jullie met die afscuwelijke vleesballen en andere chemische rotzooi! Men denkt helemaal niet van de Belgen dat ze meanderthalers zijn.Men denkt dat eerder van jullie gezien het overgrote deel van de kaaskoppen van die ongelooflijk grote lelijke konijnentanden heeft.een overblijfsel uit de prehistorie.om vlees van het been te rukken.Jullie hebben nooit met vork en mes kunnen eten.Laat staan een soeplepel.Wij zien dat hier in Antwerpen iedere zondag ip de Suikerrui.Rotop

@meredith21846 indeed, the character marking of the piece is 'allegretto,' and the section with the finger-twister double notes is marked both 'leggiero' and 'tranquillo'

un virtuoso sottovalutat?? il piu' grande sentite le sue interpretazioni e trascrizioni le interpretazioni di chopin e litz e cercatene piu' di una vi accorgerete che se voleva poteva suonare conn un avelocita' fuori dell umano ma in ogni composizione dove rallentava lo faceva per ricreare la realta' del pezzo il piu' grande del 21 secolo

I would like to see how this would look like in a Ruben's tube, just because the title is Merry Flames/Will-o'-the-wisp

[meredith21846]

Its interesting that a swashbuckling pianist like Cziffra should take such a leisurely tempo in this finger twisting etude. In doing so however I feel he brings a unique tonal subtlety with phrases that really breath among the maelstrom of notes. An underrated virtuoso.

@mombeekmarcel Come on Marcel ..not again!You know very well that Richters performance of FF is superior.Please dont be biased.

[efitzger76]

@abmsghost Richter is one of my favourite pianists; as is maestro Cziffra. To lack an appreciation of either simply means one isn't listening...

[abmsghost]

@efitzge76 rightfully so.

[abmsghost]

@horatiodreamt richter is a lot better!!

[angeladeniselear]

I had the privilege of hearing Kentner play this for me a number of times...

I have to say that this interpretation frm Cziffra is absolutely magnificent - and I couldn't detect any missed notes either.. Bravo!
