Stiff, not enjoyable. I understand how some look at this as Gold but I prefer many other recordings of this. I only find banging of the keys and perhaps some Golden moments. Honestly i prefer Horowitz banging then this. This pianist is now seen as “underrated” and “unknown”. And now I understand why. Not terrible pianist but nothing special.
Nyiregyhazi doesn't just give you a cantilena .. he gives you the dazzling Mediterranean sunshine, the bracing seaside air, and the Bay of Naples ...
A quintessential recording. 2 "terrible" minutes and 5 genius ones.
exactly
Elemental performance. Also huge thanks to Sonetto for the godly sound quality!
