Nyiregyházi plays Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody no. 3

Ervin Nyiregyházi (1903-1987) plays Liszt’s Third Hungarian Rhapsody in B flat major. Recorded in 1978. When this Liszt-album (produced by G. Benko/International Piano Archives) was released, the famous critic Harold Schonberg wrote: “...Probably the only pianist in history to play in Nyiregyházi’s style would have been Anton Rubinstein, famous for his tremendous approach and also for his wrong notes.... it is a kind of madness, but a divine madness“.
