This 1955 recital, only Cziffra's second studio recording is totally free from eccentricity and represents Cziffra at his best. It features miniatures (CPE Bach, Scarlatti and Couperin) as well as the Liszt war horses which Cziffra became famous for. The two bonus tracks come from a 1959 recital in Turin, which show off Cziffra's dazzling technique. The Bach arr. Liszt: Fantasy & Fugue, like the rest of the CD, has never appeared on CD before. It is extremely rare having been remastered from a collector's LP using ICA's Ambient mastering Process.

  • Thanks @piano345 for your comments and feedback. FYI we have posted this correction on the ICA Classics website. As you point out, the actual track which is featured here is Fantasy and Fugue on the Theme B-A-C-H. We're glad you enjoy it all the same though :-)

see all

  • Cziffra plays Scarlatti with clarity and brilliant articulation. Three of the Sonatas are new to his discography and he never recorded them again. A pity he didn't play more of this composer. The Liszt piece recorded 'live' in Turin in 1959 is the Fantasy and Fugue on the name BACH (a transcription by Liszt of his own organ work) and not the Fantasy and Fugue in G minor advertised. Nevertheless, this piece and Funerailles are given dramatically exciting performances. Great rarities!

  • I can't wait to buy it !!!

  • Treasure !!!
