The enormous length of this interpretation is almost shocking at first ... but despite the length the piece really doesn't drag. It's almost as if Nyiregyhazi was playing the Dante Sonata as if it was the mighty architectural construction that the Sonata in B Minor is .... at least, I came away convinced that there is far more to this piece than most pianists draw out of it.
Wild also described EN as a 'drunk.' Well, to paraphrase President Abraham Lincoln on General Grant's love of whiskey: "Find out what brand he drinks and send a case to each PIANIST."
@Quintus Beckmesser They were jealous, purely jealous. They could not produce and bring out a quarter of what this man did out of the piano even if they tried, meaningfully and musically.
@paulprocopolis A joke? Baloney? Amateur? Let any pianist of any caliber not practise and not have a piano for some decades and see what people will think about their playing then (given they still can play one single piece besides happy birthday). Nobody can make a final judgement on Nyiregyhazi nowadays - but after all, he must have been a true genius. In fact, in some of his recordings he produces some literally demonic sounds which no normal human being is capable of ...

4:50- 5:00 what happened to the octaves? An overwhelming performance anyway.

the suffering of the man made him what he is. that’s just how his story goes. the emotion shows in his playing.
Sheer and utter untempered passion

You probably are correct. " A lost genius"

@sonarrat The old proverb: beauty is in the eyes of the beholder- perhaps ugliness too.
@sonarrat I couldn't agree more. Earl Wild described his playing as "the biggest piece of baloney" and Ashkenazy called him "an amateur" and "a joke".
