Quite simply, Geoffrey Tozer was Australia's greatest ever pianist and one of the world's truly outstanding musicians - he was destroyed by other peoples jealousy and incompetence.
Very, very good in bits. Not so much in others. In places clarity is lost to passion and impetuosity. Perhaps a Lisztian fault. The best performance for me remains Kocsis. The title of Oz's greatest pianist is contested by Tozer and Newton-Wood (sorry, Eileen and Roger). Both were destroyed, in my opinion, not by jealousy and incompetence but by their inner demons (though I certainly think Tozer was scandalously neglected when he needed help most)

This was "the encore after a very long recital"? Just the encore? What was the recital like and where was it?

Your comment both confused and impressed me at the same time. You changed side for like 4 times from compliment tozer and decline tozer
