Poetic, beautiful...

Yes indeed - a different Cziffra to the fiery Lisztian virtuoso.

[@chaussonaph]

The true Cziffra !!

[@zamyrabyrd]

Outstanding, and perhaps rarely matched in recent pianistic history, is his elegant, measured rubato. Where there may be a tendency to slow down at the ends of phrases, he never does just that without a Chopinesque stretto moving towards it. That is why there is the satisfaction of the meter not being violated in the overall concept.

Best version

So it was la chaise dieu

[@pascalgigi9917]

It was. We Can glimpse thé tapestries near the end of the video

[@steveegallo3384]

One of Chopin's greatest, owing mainly to the section at 1:48.....BRAVO!

Grazie. Ciao :-)

Georges Cziffra ne joue pas ici à Senlis, mais en l'abbatiale de La Chaise-Dieu (Haute-Loire)

[@chaussonaph]

Exactement, Jean-Luc.

[@pascalgigi9917]

I believe it was in la chaise dieu not senlis

[@alessandropelizzoli6613]

il lisztiano si sente ancora sotto.... infatti le volate del finale sono articolate e non perlacee. lontane quindi da quanto sognava chopin
