Not that I doubt Cziffra COULD play those Mozart concerti wonderfully, Sandor is probably mistaken as to hearing Cziffra actually playing a Mozart concerto.

You donā€™t think he did any?

He programmed the 310 sonata early on. I wonder if Sandor meant sonata instead of concertoā€¦

yes, thatā€™s certainly possible.

The TE 10 seems like his craziest live performance on video I think.

Also the Dohnanyi capriccio:

Schumann Toccata the most hilarious:

Bang bang bang!!!

P.S. you know what, if there were a tower in Mordor where all Speed Demon pianists were ranked the from bottom to top, and at the top was the leader, Cziffra would be the guy that leader was afraid of.

Thatā€™s the point. Cziffra is one of those guys ā€œbeyond Mordorā€.

Mordor you get all the Speed Demons, Argerich as the woman they were forced to accept due to just being plain super duper fast and auditiong 1000x to get in, forcing them to accept women afterwards (the only reason she isnā€™t the leader being that yes, sheā€™s a woman).

Then Wang, Lang Lang, Volodos, you get the drift.

Not Cziffra though, for the very reason that the leader is afraid heā€™d be outplayed (to be the leader you got to challenge the previous leader and outplay him).

Horowitz? Gets access both to Orthanc and Barad-Dur. Because reasons.
