Notice the distinct absence of facial contortions - he wasn't playing for 'show'. No extraneous movements - there's enough to keep him busy just playing the piece. And what playing! Bravo!

This is, without question, one of the finest archive performances of piano playing in existance. Surely still one of the most underrated of all pianists. I've never heard a dull performance by him and I have most of his recordings. Stupendous. Many modern pianists should watch this and would maybe curb their excessive movements as a result!

one of the greatest most elegant and patrician of painists. This is an example of miraculous playing. Everything he plays has a beautiful tonal sheen, great technique, color. taste and intelligence, Listen to his Schumann and Brahms..

allways such assured playing.

Played and performed like a true gentleman. "Good night, and Bonsoir."

The voicing is exemplary, communicating all the dynamics of the orchestral - as well as sung (this is after all the same as the Pilgrims' Chorus). Bravo.
This is a bonus of a DVD "Cziffra :chopin liszt Franck" (My grand mother lend it to me fore a week^^)
