Thank you for posting this! I love Cziffra's versions of Liszt...at least he allowed some personality to show in his playing, instead of just dry, mechanically-perfect exhibitions.
While certainly intriguing, this performance has a few too many quirks as Cziffra liked to do eary and later in his career (but not in the early 1960s).
Brilliant!

Oh my god, how the hell did he play the beginning so perfectly without practically any sustain

This, along with Richter's, are my favorite interpretations of this lively short piece.
