Very interesting recording!

Yes, he's following Liszt's indications scrupulously yet at the same time this playing is highly evocative and ecstatic...
Btw everyone that studies Bartók's pianomusic should know his own recordings, they really set the standard, just like in Rachmaninoff's and Medtner's case. B. was an amazing pianist.
According to his ... ( 6 months ago by Noshirm)
According to his fine pupil Gyorgy Sandor, Bartok was "technically a virtuoso on the level of Prokofiev, Dohnanyi,Rachmaninoff, and Busoni." (David Dubal's book) Remember, folks, that Bartok nearly beat WILHELM BACKHAUS at the Rubinstein Competition in 1905. He had the same teacher as did Dohnanyi - Istvan Thoman, a Liszt pupil. I would love to hear his complete recordings someday. I love his music. It stirs me intensely. Kocsis, Schiff, Foldes... and...Any recommendations, people? :-)

Thanks for sending me this invite. Prokofieff was also a superlative interpreter of his own works. This Liszt piece was a favorite of Bartok's. There is only one Sandor disciple that I know of: Barbara Nissman. I have only heard her Prokofieff, but she has also released a Bartok CD that I am curious to hear. Horowitz respected Sandor, too. Again, thanks, and keep the invites coming. ^ _ ^

You're welcome, Noshirm!
Yes, I forgot to mention Prokofiev.
I know Gyorgy Sandor's book,"On Piano Playing: Motion, Sound and Expression", but I didn't hear his recordings of Prokofiev yet...
Regarding Bartók, check the small discography of Lili Kraus (she studied with him and with Schnabel). She's an underestimated pianist.

not only a great recording, but a generous and beautiful gesture

Noshir here. From what I have read, Lili Kraus studied with Steuermann and Schnabel. But she also studied at the Royal Academy in Budapest. Is that maybe when she studied with Bartok himself? I have also heard of Iren Marik, who worked with Bartok as well. She is another underrated pianistic genius. I first heard of Lili Kraus in 1981, and have treasured her Schubert and Mozart interpretations. I will check out her Bartok, too. Many thanks.

Wow!! I never have imagine to Bartok playing Liszt untill now. Zoltan Kocsis's interpretation is my favorite but Bartok's recording is very interesting too!!! This piece is wonderful!!

I wonder if schoolchildren would appreciate this music nowadays...different times...

Yes... I'm certain.
Children have greater openness and sensitivity to music and than most others. Bartók played his compositions in schools, and remarked that the children were some of his most attentive and appreciative audiences bar none. The timeless emotional/spiritual qualities of such music can transcend any pre-established mental preferences; such as those formed in early adolescence and so on. No words, let the children just hear, that their own hearts can decide. Kids appreciate beauty.

Hey there! I think Jando studied with Kadosa, right? The teacher of Ranki, Kocsis, and Schiff. I have heard some of Jando's work in Beethoven and Liszt, and will now check out his Bartok, too. I love reading about the great pianists and composers and learning about who they were. Yesterday, I read a ton of stuff about Francis Plante. It is fascinating, the people he knew, helped, advised, and played with. Thank God he and de Pachmann, among others, made some recordings.
