This is a recital in Sopron, Hungary on 15 March 1986 (the Hungarian National Day), when Cziffra was made an honorary citizen of the city. The Yamaha piano used in the concert is a former gift from the company to the great pianist, which he donated to the city of Sopron.

the way he played the barcarolle was incredible. so nuanced without overindulgence. amazing. cziffra was a genius.
Very tasteful and emotion-rich performance here... perfect for listening on a quiet evening or night

This concert is incredibly moving. If i'm not mistaken, this was Cziffra's great return to the scene in 1986. After loosing his son in 1981, he sinked in alcoholism for several years. After realising he could not bring his son back, he decided to play the piano again. You can see his pain, sorrow and fatigue on his face... After not practicing for so long, he lost a lot of virtuosity, but yet, stayed a genius pianist. One who plays Chopin with such subtelty, such truth, such depth, can only be blessed by gods. How moving of a performance this is.

That is so interesting, and something I wasn't aware of. Thanks for sharing this, and you can see the pain, sorrow and fatigue on his face. He really loved his son and must have been completely devastated when he lost him. Did he play other concerts after this or did his health decline so rapidly after this that he couldn't continue?

@@MusicalMetamorphosis- After his son's death he never played with an orchestra, but he had a lot of solo concerts as far as I know. During this concert he looked very ill and thin, later he could physically recover.

Wonderful but very reserved rubato and the tone is very even. His dynamic range could be a bit more varied (though the poor recording quality doesn't help with that), but his rubato is excellent and shows clear thought and intent and really lets the music truely sing and cry. Cziffra truely was a master. Thank you for sharing this lovely concert of his! ❤

I agree!! He had something that was hard to define.. maybe it was his "freedom". Obviously you need a huge technique to support this freedom.

Apparently the original exists in color, but this is a 'restoration' of a copy of a copy of a copy. . .and at some point the color element was lost.

Yamaha have been high quality since the 90s but i agree before then lacked tone. Steinways were difficult to play from mid 70s til early mid 90s. I like the new yamahas with consistant tone. Makes many bach sound beautuful

Yamaha are excellent. I have two Yamaha pianos, as well as a Steinway. They are all top quality instruments. Richter played and recorded on Yamaha pianos and I am quite sure it wasn’t because that company payed him to do so.

well different recording devices were available to different people, in different settings, different recording companies, and in different countries 🤷♂ And the although the quality looks as though its from a good camera in the 60's, atleast it's clear and beautiful
