sauer was a pupil of liszt, so i'd say its safer to trust his interpretation than the rantings of some wanna-be music critic on youtube 100 years later.

I believe that is the piano roll which gives this mechanical impression

Best recording of the Mazeppa!

[mousigama]

Mazeppa was a revolutionary galoping in the steppe.....

Berman is great, but he recorded in tone-better and more flexibility studios

exactly, the virtuoso shouldn't be abused

but I wouldn't call him superficial for that - he could have well been on to something

he tried to master a different approach with explosions of overwhelming virtuosic meaning, though his expectations of what Liszt had in mind for his horses running around with a piano on the piano (virtuoso style) were of course not the same

each of Liszt's students had different souls each one different from Liszt

.one of his students was a maniac I think

@boohellokitty they are just virtuosos, but arrau its both virtuoso and musical

[boohellokitty]

@1993eph Come on....Both Berezovsky and Berman blow Arrau out of the water! His rendition is good, but he is nothing compared to these two Jews!

Sauer was good, but I get the feeling that he plays the song for the virtuosic aspect of it. I mean, that's obviously there, but I feel that the song is about more than that. I think he was a little superficial with it. It can be more explosive and meaningful

This and Arrau's versions are the best!
