Liszt's works always needs multi-dimensional talent and Szidon has it.
His is a very different approach, but one that identifies the essential musicality within these pieces that most pianists miss.

Szidon's approach is highly creative and individual. He has a strong personality whether you like it or not. At least, Szidon can be compared with Cziffra on strong personality essential to express so-called 'Gypsy Spirit'. He has a big mechanism, power, alertness to be a good Lisztean, too.


Roberto Szidon is undoubtedly one of the greatest living pianists of our time. His Deutsche Grammophon recordings(circa 70's)of Villa Lobos, the Scriabin Sonatas, and especially, of Charles Ives' Concord Sonata put today's more modestly equipped celebrity pianists to shame. This set of the Hungarian Rhapsodies is a precious reminder of Szidon's powers at their most glorious. Let's not let this transcendental artist languish in obscurity any longer! Szidon needs to return to center stage where he so rightfully belongs.
