While struggling to learn the piano in the late 30's and 40's, I played my grandparents' piano paper rolls recorded by Ferruchio Busoni. To me then and now they were a blessing, encouraging me a promise of the reality awaiting me when I pushed on.

@newFranzFerencLiszt I heard Garrick Ohlsson in concert yesterday play this. He was a student of Arrau, and I'm finally glad I got to hear him live.

yes, yes... the best performance indeed

My father's piano teacher playing. This was the first Liszt I ever heard and fell in love with it. Only recently did I learn it and I always hear something new when I play it. A masterpiece.

Absolutely love the tempo. This is no liebestraum...

@mrionestrovsky Lucky bastard!

Fantastic interpretation of this great pianist that I was lucky to listen alive more than once, in São Paulo (Brazil), many years ago.
