Who knows this pianist ?

I've found an old 78 record with unreadable labels - Is there someone who could recognise the recording ?
It is some paraphrase on a Johann Strauss composition.
I also hear some slavonic elements, very interesting !
The other side of the record is to much damaged..
It reminds me of Emil von Sauer, Arthur Friedheim, Arthur de Greef, Conrad Ansorge, Eugen d'Albert, Moriz Rosenthal, Paderewski or even Leschetizky ?? what about Godowsky..

[shilloshillos]

the extreme virtuosity and the dryness of the phrasing almost reminds me of Josef Hoffmann. What do you think?

[EtrofOnaip]

I personly didn't think of Joseph Hoffmann, but together we will find out !!

Tatum had such technique, when you listen to his Chopin Waltz....

That could be a young bugs bunny.

Ignaz Friedman?

[FlyingBlackAndWhite]

feels like cziffra.......

[chaussonaph]

@looney1023 That can not be Cziffra. He made​two or three 78rpm just Hungary and MHV SZK 3575

SZK MHV 3576. His first recordings for HMV are four rhapsodies of 1956. Moreover, we do not recognize that Cziffra was boundless imagination much more than a pianist.

@a1s2d3f4g5q1w2e3 Well, I know that he made his debut in Budapest at the age of 5, improvising on popular tunes in the Budapest Circus. Even if he didn't start working in a bar at that age, he started improvisation then.

@madlovba2 You mean Cziffra started working in a bar when he was 5 years old?

[ferocel]

It sounds like a young Horowitz.

could it be cziffra?
