GREAT POST !!!!!!!!! Grazie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@tastenkasten Splicing of all kinds has been utilized by recording engineers since magnetic tape was invented during WWII. It shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that even the best technicians use splicing and other forms of manipulation to get the "best take" that will be heard by consumers. I only meant that in this recording, the result seems a bit more artificial than usual. Nothing against Fiorentino, who was an excellent pianist...

@keenanonie I wonder how in 1960/61 a tape recording could be doctored the way you insinuate. The recording was released on a Delta LP, and I provided a digital transfer from my well-kept original Lp WITHOUT any doctoring implied, and it was used for APR's release. Go and listen to the Grande Fantasy on Paganini, also uploaded here somewhere. Perhaps you can tell us again where you feel the doctor's knife has been working... :-))

@Astathis Okay, he's a great pianist--and he's dead, so sorry about the email comment--but it still sounds doctored.
-
@Astathis If you're so confident about him, why don't you email him and ask him if there's editing in this recording? I promise he'll say yes.

You just don't know Fiorentino :)

@Gargantupimp The articulation is mechanically even. It almost sounds like a player piano. The tempo has unquestionably been sped up--you can tell by the way the jumps are timed. (I wouldn't be surprised to find that in this recording some parts may have even been dubbed over with more than one hand per staff.) No piano speaks so evenly and mechanically in all its registers as the one in this recording, so something fancy is obviously happening with the engineering.

@keenanonie what do u mean?
-
Great piece, but this recording has "doctored" written all over it!

I love the Piu moderato section in Emajor, with the Op. 10, no. 12- like left-hand figures. Just blissful compared to the rest of the piece. :)

Wonderful piece.

This has got to be one of my desert island piano recordings. Fiorentino's pianism has much in common with Busoni, Petri and to a lesser extant Michelangeli. By the time he recorded these Liszt pieces I think the acedemic piano world regarded him as anachronism. This is just my educated guess, however.
