Liszt: Transcendental Etude No. 4 in D minor, "Mazeppa"
Piano roll
* Thank you, DocMatt64! It IS Nyiregyházi!
** Of course the photo of this "video" (D'Albert) is wrong, but it's impossible to change and I don't want to remove it...

  • Dear Kajohada,

    You seem to be particular fond of attacking Nyíregyházi, and each time there is no reason given. Even the commentor below who has a similar hobby told us why, even though he is helplessly contradicting himself...again. So can you offer us some reasons on why you dislike this performer?

  • This is one video that one could show to prove that Nyreghyazi was indeed a great pianist, although at times he squandered his talents and many of his recordings do not meet such high standards

  • Unstoppable technique and unforgettable characterization. It's such a pity he wasn't able to exhibit his full potential. Can you imagine if his Dante Sonata was this good??

  • I don't know how on earth the name Richard Kastle reached this video... it seems Richard Kastle is the Chuck Norris of the piano... fine let it be, but then let Mr. Nyiregyházi be the Bruce Lee of the piano ;)

  • Didn't Nyireghazi (excuse my terrible spelling) miss the 3/4 at 3:57?

  • Magnificent!

  • @ReturnOfTheStienway 'Richard Kastle' is the most idiotic music troll ever...

  • well, there are very good Mazeppas around, but Nyiregyházi's unique character owns the show...

  • @Marc888ful Did you know him in person? That's pretty cool!

  • It must be made clear that this is and AMPICO reproducing piano roll made by E N in about 1922. It is being played on a 5'8" Grotrian-Steinweg grand from an ARGO LP that came out in about 1968. I feel that it is about the only successful transfer from rolls to LP by some miracle. MOST all other transfers fail.

    Nyiregyhazi told me that he disliked his rolls and felt that the AMPICO people were only interested in making money. However, he thought the coda of MAZEPPA came through.

  • Wow...! Here I'm starting to feel like I'm making some progress on this dang instrument and then I hear this. Guess I'll just go back to my man-cave and settle for playing chopsticks....Bravo & thanks for posting !

  • @OverFjell

    Can't dispute that! ;)
