Gjörgy Cziffra is the the greatest Instrumentalist I have ever listend to.

Magnificent portrait of Emperor Georges ! A very good summary of his life, even if no mention of the horrible forties for him...

Genius of the piano !!!🙏🙏 He lost his son too soon 😩😩

Nem hiszem hogy az életemből fogok hallani egy ilyen zongoraművészt mint Cziffra György fantasztikus A jó isten nyugtassa békében büszke vagyok arra hogy magyar cigány zenész vagyok

A wonderful portrait of a wonderful human being 🌹

I love how honest Cziffra was - you have to work hard. There are no secrets to mastering the piano. You have to work smart of course, but you have to work hard as well. I'm learning French myself and I can testify to the fact that although there are secrets to learning the language faster, nothing but hard work will help you achieve real fluency. The same goes for anything in life.

Vous êtes un homme doublement intelligent Benjamin, d'une part parce que ce que vous dites sur le travail est pertinent, d'autre part parce que vous apprenez le Français 😃 Je crois que c'est Albert Einstein qui disait que le génie c'est 1% d'inspiration pour 99% de transpiration !

You could practice until you were blue in the face, and still come nowhere near Cziffra.

​@@peace-nowI don't think Cziffra would have said something like that and I don't think we have a right to say something as discouraging as that.

It's amazing, it's like to see Liszt on video, i have no words to describe my happyness while watching it!

Émouvant. Je crois qu'il se voyait en regardant l'enfant prodige jouer. On dirait qu'il éprouvait un grand bonheur. On ne peux pas feindre ces sentiments-là.

I like conversation between Cziffra and his wife Soleilka after a concert. The greatest genius turn into a timid boy in front of wife😭

Un " grand parmi les grands"...Merveilleux Cziffra , humanité, simplicité,talent et virtuosité incomparables.. Reportage très intéressant. Merci

Oui, c'est exactement ca--son humanité. Dans les vidéos d'autres grands pianistes de l'époque c'est évident qu'ils font la montre pour la caméra. Mais, avec Cziffra on a toujours l'impression qu'il se comportait exactement le meme quand la caméra était éteinte.

Great documentary, with very gentle, moving performance of the Schubert Impromptu. Often, the big virtuoso murder these pieces.

He said at 17:48: "...Dénes Kovács, the director of the Academy" He was a great violinist.

One of Greatest and Dénes Kovács is one of the greatest violinist!!!

I'm working on english subtitles for this vid, hopping to post them soon Edit: it's done! There are some excerpts where I really can't hear what is being said but I tried overall to be as close as possible to what Cziffra says and to the way he says it. Formatting is inconsistent because I've never done subtitles before

Merci pour ce beau et très intéressant document. C'est toujours un plaisir de visiter votre chaîne qui contient de nombreux trésors! Belle journée de jeudi!🎹🎼🎼🎹

Lovely, intimate portrait of an outstanding artist

So touch, thanks for sharing.

Awsome! He laid his hand on Ferenc Liszt's plaster-cast hand in the Liszt museum. It was a private flat of Liszt, it's the initial Academy of Music, if I right remember, but I'm sure he tought here.

That hand is huge! I don’t believe Liszt’s hands were that big! I saw another Liszt hand in Budapest which was large but not insane as this one.

The piano professor whom Cziffra is talking about (and who is seen sitting next to him) at 26:36-26:55 is György Ferenczy, NOT János Ferencsik. (Ferencsik was a conductor.)

26:39 The professor is not Ferencsik, he is György Ferenczy! He was an excellent pianist, with a taste for Chopin, Liszt and even the Baroque composers. He discovered Cziffra - together with Tamás Vásáry - as a bar pianist in the Kedves presszó.

Wow! Thank you!

Great documentary! Thank you so much for putting the effort and subtitling the whole thing. One correction, if I may, at 26'40, Cziffra talks about György Ferenczy who was teaching at the Liszt Academy. He calls him Georges Ferenczy a few seconds later. So he's not referring to the famous conductor János Ferencsik. Here's a link to some Chopin by Ferenczy: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pmF1tK6uXcKdfdI.html

He was overcome by the litle guy (knows somebody him?) at 17:30.
