    I'm sure Liszt would be more impressed by this performance than the negative commenters. This is good form of Liszt playing- listen to recordings from Liszt's pupils and you will find that it was common practice to add embellishments and take rhythmic liberties as Cziffra does quite convincingly here.

    Martha Argerich a témoigné et dit avoir entendu sur disque 33 tours dans sa jeunesse G.Cziffra, et en a parlé à son professeur qui a répondu nonchalamment, mais non des bons pianistes il y en a beaucoup.. Elle a cherché en vain d’autres artistes de ce calibre et n’en a jamais trouvé, répétant que son jeu et sa technique étaient exceptionnels. Nous en avons encore ici la preuve. J’ai eu la chance de le voir 7 ou 8 fois en concert et même de pouvoir discuter avec lui pendant près d’une heure ( il avait le temps) un après midi à Senlis, heureux hasard 😊

    Do love Cziffra! Yes it’s impulsive, a bit wild and messy, but it’s totally compelling because Cziffra believes and feels with total conviction. There’s no doubt who is playing. I could listen to dozens of modern pianists and have no idea who they are coz they are all the same (and no this is not serving the music !!).
    And for fun here is a younger Cziffra in the same piece. It’s a bit different, more lyrical, more controlled, still very impassioned and exciting

    This wonderful study has beautiful poetic moments that get short shrift in this performance. Cziffra was a master, but too often seems to go for the "show". The short notes (after the dotted notes are clipped, though most pianists do this). Arrau is the most satisfying pianist I've heard in these etudes. With him the passion is is there, but it never swamps the poetry. I will continue to listen to Cziffra because I know what a master he is and he doesn't 't have a choice over what some of his admirers choose to post. Thank you anyway!

    Butchered is a strong word as I'm sure Cziffra genuinely felt this music should proceed with fire and passion. Unfortunately he could rarely resist completely crazy speeds and thus frequently gave performances which were not always wholly convincing. A great pianist and a very nice man indeed but tempo control was generally his achilles' heel.
