Both Cziffra and Liszt had a distinguishable mole on their faces. I strongly believe this is the closest to Liszt we can get. Poetry and passion. This is always how I will describe Cziffra. And no need to mention - "It was always cziffra, and the others"
PROGRAM: SCHUBERT: 02:43 Impromptu op 90 n 4 CHOPIN: 11:27 Polonaise-Fantaisie op 61 LISZT: 25:48 Polonaise S 223 n 2 CHOPIN: 35:06 Ballade op 47 SAINT-SAËNS: 43:46 Etude en forme de valse op 52 n 6 SCHUBERT: 55:30 Impromptu op 142 n 1 CHOPIN: 1:07:34 Ballade op 47 1:16:30 Polonaise op 53 SCHUMANN: 1:25:15 Faschingsschwank aus Wien op 26 CHOPIN: 1:50:33 Impromptu op 51
Nothing very interesting tbh, briefly: the concert was held in a sports facility, full house, 2000 people, he plays on his own Yamaha piano. At the end of the concert: short talk about the Cziffra Foundation.
why did he play the Chopin Ballade #3 twice in the same program? I didn't watch all the way through, so there may have been some kind of programmatic reason.
I would like to know, was it the first concert of Cziffra in Hungary after he has left the country? The host has spoken about the hall and the circumstainces but nothing about the a pianist. Just compliant to the rules of a communist country?
Igen, úgy emlékszem ekkor jött haza először. Ez még sokkal a gengszterváltás előtt volt, nem nagyon illett arról beszélni, hogy valakinek korábban miért kellett elhagynia Magyarországot.
maybe, cziffra was from war torn times... and as a survivor I don't think his story would be made public always, only on select occasions specific to it maybe, like the book cannons and flowers or the documentary, A virtuoz.
Schuberts Impromptus are favourites of mine, so it's great to hear the master playing two of them.

One thing about Liszt, though: he never looked at the instrument when he played. Must have been eerily fascinating to watch
How he plays Chopin Polonaise-Fantasie ... unbelievable, truly the best ever
Pressing the LIKE BUTTON the moment Cziffra sits at the piano is a "no brainier."
Yes!
This is a really great recital.
I simply adore his Liszt Polonaise no. 2 ... every performance he has, he always drums up something different, and adds different embellishments.
Surprisingly beautiful Polonaise-Fantasie, full of poetic and pensive passages, one of the best I’ve heard.
I'm in tears ...
Very interesting program!! many thanks!
Your welcome !

At 1:24:56 Cziffra says it's a little bit warm in here. And people laugh. But I guess that part is understandable

Its not the same program maybe, different audience, there was a pause in between both the sections of the program
Thank you a lot for the complete recital!
I was just wondering: Didn't he also play Bach/Busoni Prelude and Fugue in D major at that concert?
he didn't play !
@@billentyu007 th-cam.com/video/rPNcYIh7JGI/w-d-xo.html isn't this the same concert?
in fact I remember that he played also Liszt Polonaise in E Major
@@tommasomarino1575 25:47 ;)
Actually he played it(Bach/Busoni and Schubert), and Bach/Busoni one was uploaded 11 years ago(labled "Zalaegerszeg 1983 03.17")
😢 qué pena los ruidos en la grabación.
He was born to play Liszt.
47:00
Date please ?
@@benoit1463 1983
why did he play the Ballade No 3 twice?
Maybe it was two concert, two different days.
@@szekely3a yes indeed
