  • Let it rip!!!

  • @danmessias oh yes, Cziffra was a Hungarian Roma, Liszt half German and Puskas was also "german", called sváb...His name was Purczeld!

    Hungarians have many great talented people, but being Hungarian is a fantastic mixture in blood...

    would be good to accept and acknowledge it

  • Yes, he had a very hard life. He brougt up in a very poor family but he was not childlabour. In the 1950th he wanted to leave Hungery that's why he was sent to laborcapm for years. He had to work with his hand in stone-pit.. After leaving the labor camp he was not let to give concert Hungary. During the Hungarin revolution in 1956 he left Hungary for Paris. In France he was very succesful and got acknowledgement in worldwide but 1970th he lost his only child in fire and turned to alcohol. .

  • Il fait avec un doigt ce que je ferais avec deux mains...

  • I really love the look on his face at the end (ok I did it, where's my money?)...This guy was a hero, he had a very tortured life before he managed to make it and have a success in the West. Poverty, child labour, wars, imprisonment, torture...I admire and respect him!

  • @CorsairMemory That's his unique technique that enables him to play this fast.

  • From Wikipedia: Franz Liszt was born to German-speaking Marie Anna Lager and Hungarian-speaking Adam Liszt on October 22, 1811, in the village of Doborján (German: Raiding) in Sopron County, in the Kingdom of Hungary.

    German and Hungarian... Where do you see slovakia there???

    OH. MY. GOD.

  • Félelmetes technikai tudás!

  • @danmessias Lists parents are from Slovakia

  • OH. MY. GOD.

    

  • Three geniuses Hungary gave to the world: Lizt, Cziffra and Puskas!

  • things that the human brain can do it!

  • @playnath there are ways to speed up a tape without altering the pitch... by cutting out tiny fragments of it instead of compressing it.

    i dont know about this one.

    cziffra was known for his astounding virtuosity, it wouldnt surprise me if this was real time.

  • @CorsairMemory I don't think so because if it was accelerated the notes would sound higher and they don't!I think it's just the old cameras who are filming with a bad quality

  • This video seems a bit accelerated to me. His movements are not fully natural. Especially during the close-ups on his head.

  • My goodness! This must have been the reincarnation of Liszt.

  • Great!

  • @rigel48 Horowitz ?

  • amazing skill, this Liszt piece is like watching acrobats in the most intense circus ever imagined.

  • unerreichbar! Cziffra! Ein Phänomen!

  • a monster

  • ooooozú que mostruo!!!!!

  • definitivamente, debe haberse vuelto loco en algun momento, ..que extremo para tocar!!

  • A high wire act indeed!.
