reply to pcmh1978: the title says "capricioso", which means the player can play as "idiosyncratically" as he likes! In fact this is the best rendition I know of this!
I have not been privileged to hear Gyorgy play before= he had a nice range of tonalties. This is one of those pieces that stays in your mind long after you've heard it.
There's an awful lot I don't and will never know, mate, but when I hear beautiful music and I have a platform like this one, I like to add my thanks and praise for their efforts to those who labour and have to courage to publicly make our sound world a far better place.
I used to work at broadcasting, and Cziffra was always the top played pianist at the time. Price was the most played singer. The programming department must have been big fans of these two.
Cziffra is an absolute powerhouse and his articulation, speed, clarity, and accuracy in his performance of this piece is second to none. Mendelssohn would have loved this spirited performance, and Liszt would be proud!
Danke dafür ..................................................................................................................................................................
Wow...it's amazing. I think you're really good at play piano. I am happy to know you. wonderful.I will listening your playing everyday. Thank you very much...
I played this when I was 12 and it took me about two months to finish this piece. This was the hardest piece in my reportoire at the time it’s not easy
it's both very bad and very very good: very bad: the tempo is not stable at all, it's too fast, it sounds like Liszt sometimes and it shouldn't imho ; very good: the technical control is incredible, the touch is very delicate.
Dunno if you trolling, but Cziffra was a long, long time ago. Really decent sound didn't come around 'til the late 50's, and then only for the biggest labels. Cziffra happened before that. This is probably a 78 rpm record. Be grateful we have the music at all, there's no one like Cziffra and I"m glad to hear him in any medium.

@@Mirchettopianista I’ve been playing piano for 12 years (more than half my life). I don’t like the performance in this video because it is far too fast and feels so rushed. It is not just about how fast you are able to play it and how many notes you get right; it is about how beautiful it sounds. And this is anything but.
@@pianosenzanima1 Backhaus' execution of the sextuplet runs was not bad but Cziffra's execution is of another kind: keep firing no matter where until the end ... wherever that is!
