@@jean-jacqueskaselorganreco6879I'm glad you have so many Cziffra recordings. I'm a big fan. The liszt b minor sonata is one of those pieces which is almost always an artistic failure in performance-- rather like the Rachmaninoff 3rd, which was only a success when the younger Horowitz played it. Argerich is a brilliant pianist, but this performance does not get to the heart of the music.

3:05 It is fascinating how Martha introduces Faust's theme. Most pianists introduces Faust's theme with grandeur and nobility. Martha's heavy percussion makes Faust's theme sound agitated as if Mephistopheles is still hovering around. This might be a great interpretation of Faust being tormented by Mephisto. The agitation is gone when Martha revisits Faust's theme later on.

Je suis un peu effaré par certaines critiques...Martha Argerich a remarquablement fait ressortir l'aspect tout à la fois tourmenté, Dantesque, furieux, passionné, endiablé, fou, illuminé mais aussi divin, mystique, qui touche à la béatitude, au bonheur suprême, aux Cieux... de cette sonate. Franz Liszt en somme... Dans ma discothèque, j'ai 2 versions d'Horowitz, 1 de Leonskaja, 1 de Cziffra, 1 de Richter, 1 de Blet, 1 de Zimmerman, et bien sûr 1 d'Argerich. Pour moi, Martha Argerich reste au dessus et on ressent la passion et la profondeur de cette oeuvre plus qu'avec les autres interprétations.

My first version sonata-Listz for me by Martha Argerich, why ? Because she plays very viril as Horowitz but also very feminin , a force and also delicacy of a woman . It's not with Martha Argerich a famous sonata , a great piano as we listen with the others pianists but a human sonata and we don't listen her fabulous technic-piano , j forget technic to listen F Listz , she is alone in Listz-sonata since almost 1970's to play it like that . J think really all pianists don't play Listz but play their composition , it's a fact extremely rare in history piano with the great Listz-sonata
