A final offering for Cziffras birthday is this incredible filmed July 1962 BBC broadcast (the same session as the Scarlatti posted earlier) of Liszts Hungarian Rhapsody No.6, which fully demonstrates his grasp of the composers idiom with his own embellishments (Liszt surely would have been delighted!), declamatory inflection, and folksy rhythm. Add to that his beautiful singing sonority, Romantic rubato, and staggering technical proficiency - watch the blur of his hands in the final minutes! What octaves! - and you have a performance of epic proportions. A marvel! Available on a terrific DVD that also features film of the great Moiseiwitsch: amazon/Classic-Archive-Gyorgy-Cziffra-Moiseiwitsch/dp/B001BJO11I
