He was born in Doborján, Sopron County, Hungary. His father, Ádám Liszt, clerk to Duke Esterházy, recognized his son's exceptional musical talent early on and seized every opportunity to develop it. At the age of nine, Liszt was already playing the piano in public in Sopron and Bratislava, and soon, with the support of art patrons, he was able to continue his studies in Vienna as a student of Czerny and Salieri. He presented himself in Vienna on December 1, 1822
In 1920/1921, a strip of Hungarian territory was transferred to Austria and Doborján was renamed to Raiding, in the district of Oberpullendorf. Around that period, the strip of transferred land became known as Burgenland.
Liszt became renowned throughout Europe for his great skill as a performer during the 1800s. He is said to have been the most technically advanced and perhaps greatest pianist of all time. He was also an important and influential composer, a notable piano teacher, a conductor who contributed significantly to the modern development of the art, and a benefactor to other composers and performers, notably Richard Wagner and Hector Berlioz.
As a composer, Liszt was one of the most prominent representatives of the "Neudeutsche Schule" ("New German School"). He left behind a huge and diverse body of work, in which he influenced his forward-looking contemporaries and anticipated some twentieth-century ideas and trends. Some of his most notable contributions were the invention of the symphonic poem, developing the concept of thematic transformation as part of his experiments in musical form and making radical departures in harmony.

8:27 the sudden dynamic change/pause is a little detail that always amazes me when listening to Leshenko's recording.

Both are great performances, but I enjoy the slightly slower rendition that Thibaudet presents more. Sounds, to me, like Thibaudet took great care in making sure to follow the dynamic markings more closely then Leschenko which is perhaps why I like it more.

Thank you so much for posting these. I am learning this piece just now, and these two excellent performances are just what I need to motivate me to work hard on it. All credit to the great Franz Liszt for his imaginative arrangement.

I've always felt that Cziffra has a very freewheeling style which I always find very exciting to listen to, especialy in his recording of this piece. Thank you for letting me know about these two wonderful performances.

A rousing start to 2021. An incredible set of sparkling performances. Thank you for posting.
