- The sumptuous sonority and tender interpretation of Ervin Nyíregyházi (1903, Budapest - 1987, Los Angeles) at his recital in Takasaki (Japan), 31/5/1980.
By now, the story of Nyíregyházi has become so legendary, it scarcely needs repeating: a child-prodigy on the level of Mozart and Saint-Saens, a spectacular Carnegie Hall debut in 1920, a career flameout soon thereafter, ten marriages, and decades of poverty before a short lived rediscovery in the 1970s. Kevin Bazzana released a book about his remarkable life (he had ten wives before his death, one of whom tried to murder him and one of whom was the mother of a previous wife), called "Lost Genius".

Marvelous performance. Nyiregyhazi really understood and felt this piece so deeply.
Wow, actual footage of him!! Many thanks!
The whole Takasaki concert is on YT as well, 1.5 hours worth of footage :)
Oh absolutely. What an incredible performance. I’m so thrilled to see this.
This is much better than the typical late EN train wreck but I don't find the performance noteworthy. Among the best is an early recording by Arrau, made before he (deliberately) slowed down
