Golden age of pianism, and music...we´ll never have pianists like those, specially because now lots of people are fond on Kissin, Lang Lang and company, who are just pianists, and not great musicians...people prefer flawless interpretations other than an original reading, that´s a a pity, and that´s why the golden age of music has come to an end

This is great! Do we know what technology was used to record it from the radio? - direct to disc, or a wire recorder or early tape recorder? The latter were just coming in in the mid 1930s. I hear no clicks, which suggests to me that it wasn't to disc.

@EdwardHKDC probably disk, little-listened-to and with cleanup. i've had the recordings since the mid-1980s.

Allegro MOLTO TROPPO!!!!! Lol :D Gotta love those octaves at 5:40!
Check out Ogdon's recording. It's got a whole lot of energy and fire, too.

@OrangeSodaKing - as someone pointed out, no one thought it especially madly insanely fast at the time. we underwent a weird transformation of the idea of tempo in the 20th c.
