What a GREAT , even monumental performance Brumberg gives here: so opulent, noble, imaginative, full of fantasy, rhythmically alive, and gripping. It is right up there alongside those of Arrau, Levy, and Sofronitsky. Among the most beautiful readings of the Liszt Sonata I have ever heard, and that's a lot of them, believe me!

Beautiful. Stunning.

This is my favorite pianist. I have heard him play the Chopin Etudes, op.10 and op.25. It was breathtaking.

My holy bible! Played with perfection! Wonderful interpretation. We can forget his so little faults ( 8.22, 9.38 ): This monument is so well respected by your teacher!! This is my favorite video for the moment!
