This is without a doubt one of the greatest video recordings ever made. John Ogdon was such a terrific and sadly under appreciated pianist

[@cryptohalloffame]

not underappreciated, just underreported

Splendid: many, many thanks.

Highly captivating and brilliant performance; although it is not one of my favorite pieces but I couldn't stop watching the video over and over again. Besides being a great virtuoso, John Ogdon was a great musician❤❤❤

Outrageously fine playing. Possessed, as it should be!

John Ogdon was a brilliant pianists.In this Liszt piece he takes us up to the angels and down to the inferno.

Unbelievable playing, the dialogue he achieves at 8:30 is such a joy to listen to.

Interestingly, JO once said that there were only 5 piano pieces really worth playing.

I do not usually think much of Ogdon's playing - but - I find lots to enjoy here.

Completely eerie haunting & searching reading of a piece too easily reduced to b-movie horror. True though, the black & white helps........

If if remember well, the original version had atrocious audio distortion. The playing is awesome.

Surely Liszt somehow gave his hands a heart attack.
