Live in Zeneakadémia, 1977. I'm determined to resurrect this dead channel for a bit. While I presume viewers of my channel are familiar enough with Kocsis, I don't think Ránki needs any introduction either. They were Hungary's top pianists in the second half of the twentieth century for a long time, and this rendition of one of my favourite works ever is about a quadrillion times better than the Argerich/Freire, or the Lupu/Perahia version for that matter (previously the only notable available performances here on RU-vid). While I was editing the video, I've encountered several strange interferences and echo noises - notably between the Variations - throughout the audio recording, so I had to edit those out.
