Cziffra had this music in his blood. I guess this is his earlier recording of the Rhapsody. It has everything the music requires - the melancholy, the fiery temperament, a capricious touch and stunning virtuosity.
For me, that whistled theme at 6:10 really captures all the essence of the popular, I feel like being a XIXth century teenage peasant in love. It always makes me want to cry, even (or specially, I would say) when playing it myself. :P
8:35 this part is an absolute MF to play.. Liszt you glorious scoundrel!!! This is one marvelous performance of a wonder of composition. Can't get enough of it.
Claudio Arrau and Gyorgy Cziffra are the only two Entities who can play Liszt because they are direct Descendants. All other versions sound fine, but aren't played the way Liszt has to be played
while they both play Liszt very well, I feel such a statement really degrades a lot of other stellar performances and artists. Perhaps they do not play it as Liszt might, but whats to say Liszt would not see the beauty in it and agree that such an interpretation is just fine?
What do you even mean with "direct descendants"? Neither pianist has ever met, let alone, heard Liszt play ... Both pianists did get lessons by students of Liszt ... but ... a student is hardly the master ... in both sound and ability! Cziffra's teacher was a favorite of Liszt so you would think this teacher approached Liszt as best he could ... but even then I would think that the student still has his own sound. As far as "has to be played" ... Liszt gives fine hints towards how things should be played in his sheet music ... but in the end it is up to the interpreting pianist ... that is the wonder of music, you can play it in many ways without destroying the intent of a piece and sometimes even bringing out completely new soundscapes just because of a adjustement in playstyle.
It's important to note that Liszt only taught students who already were pretty advanced, he gave his students a lot of freedom and never bothered with fingerings or technique and such so it's not like he produced exact copies of himself as a teacher.

The audacity of RUclips to allow such a masterwork to be interrupted by commercials! Disgusting people.

6:08 This melody always makes me happy. It's such an enthusiastic moment. Liszt would have applauded such a performance !
Yhanks for liking my melody
My most favourite Liszt melody at 3:49
+CaradhrasAiguo49 I also really like 5:00
i agree

My favorite melody is the Allegro Zingarese at 2:55 :>
5:20 and 3:49 are the best
This Hungarian Rhapsody is my favourite....I love it more than any other......It's his best......
Agree !
Yup
it's completely fabulous. No wonder they used to say in his time "Hear Liszt and die".
I really like how it ends, the way it summarizes all the melodies briefly
What a monster of a piece
Probably one of my favorite Liszt pieces. So many beautiful sections/melodies thoughout!
Bravo, Liszt, and bravo, Cziffra! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks
You left the same comment at hungarian rhapsody 14!

This sounds like an epilogue to life, reminiscing near death as one’s memories flows into eternity.

Magical, pure love. Nobody like cziffra. May his soul reincarnate again
How sad these rhapsodies like 12, 15 being overshadowed by no 2 and 6. They are hidden gems and more people should discover this beauty.
7,14, 16
12 is my fav
A Chips A’hoy ad at 4:44 right after one of Liszt’s most sublime moments! This planet is doomed…
Yeah don't put an ad break in the middle of the song, thaaaaaanks
a real master of technique
Great! Im currently learning this (i sound like a dying chicken, but Im making progress)

I tried very hard to find a false note. There just wasn't one! OMG, what a stunning performance.
+Jim Hall first note. But i can't say if it was clipped from thr audio cD or it was how he played it.
7:54 false note: left hand (D instead of C)
How sad that you only look for faults. Beethoven said ‘to play a wrong note is insignificant, but to play without passion is inexcusable’.
A Man Has No Name that's not a real Beethoven quote
@@charlesbluett8195 I'm not sure about that, I am the same type of person as Beethoven and I share that opinion and I am actually even composing.
I can play from 1:43 until 2:07
Can you play more of it now?
@@babyskunkcat I also wonder
A beautiful work of nope.
Agree
??? this makes no sense.
