  • simply, utterly magnificent. What a power in his hands. He captured the word "SYMPHONIC" more than perfect.

  • I agree. It's a classic recording.

  • @jlynem Agreed. And etude 11 is one of those works that separates the men from the boys in the realm of great virtuoso pianists. Accounts handed down by students of Liszt tell of a stunning and mesmerizing performance of this one etude. Rubinstein (1961) performs a remarkable rendition, but I would put Charassky's near the top.Richter here just doesn't do it for me - it's forced and brutal. It has to be performed delicately and calmly, creating an almost somnambulistic mood - not easy

  • I think Etude 11 is the most meaningful two minutes of music that have ever been composed.
