  • These little interviews show Ervin Nyiregyházi's good humour, and an individualistic sense of the artist's purpose with an interesting metaphysical inflection. Check these links to the original (excellent) film and a website (also excellent) full of archival material.

    I think the uncertain word at 7:28 is "camarero" = "waiter" in Spanish. Any suggestions for the other one? Edit: The other is "straight-jacket." Thanks to Tony Mostrom and his sharp ears.

      You're right: "a camarero in a straight jacket."

    1:30 I can't believe that a person with blood on the fingers playing Blanchet produces such nuances on the piano. Honestly, he is one kind of person I would not have liked to meet I think. He seems dangerously unpredictable, which can be sometimes good, but having extreme tendencies on a regular basis must lead to a stressful life.

    • @ferguscullen8451
      @ferguscullen8451  5 лет назад +3

      Yes, surely stressful. His delicate humour is what impressed me most, beside his pianism. For that reason I'd like to have met him.

      It’s not Nyiregyhazi playing this waltz here.
      The hands look latino so it could have been his friend, Ricardo Hernandez. He surely was present during the recording of these interviews, I feel like otherwise Nyiregyhazi wouldn’t have agreed to be interviewed.

      Not sure about the artistry... he's all but humble, everything appears very much self-oriented. He should have been just a composer, not an interpreter.

    I didn't quite follow the discussion that ended with the mention of Gregor Benko. Was he complaining about Benko for something?

    • @ferguscullen8451
      @ferguscullen8451  2 месяца назад

      Since he plays the piano for his own enjoyment, he sometimes likes to depart from what the composer has written. So he is annoyed when Benko tells him to stick to the score. I hope this answers your question?
