Best Liszt performer (pianist)

As far as I'm concerned, I love Michelangeli's Totentanz, Horowitz pieces like the B-flat sonata, the Mephisto Waltz, Ballades... Consolations

Horowitz.... I have heard some things like the Rhapsodies, the Consolations escaped me.... I must say that I am not excessively enthusiastic..... regarding Michelangeli, nothing to object to...

I'll take advantage of this topic, what difference do you think there is between Cziffra, Campanella, Szidon or Jando or Howard?

For the second rhapsody, apart from Cziffra: Gilels, Rachmaninoff or Cortot

Gilels I miss..., I heard Rach but now it escapes me... Cortot..... I like him but I prefer Cziffra I cannot deny it XD

let's see.... what do you think of Arrau instead? both regarding the transcendental etudes (it's a shame I can only find the last recording, not a youthful one) and the rest of Liszt that he recorded?

Even though he is a great performer, in my opinion there are pianists who perform better with Liszt. I am also for Cziffra

Like the greats, he seems not to struggle, when we all know that is not the case

Furthermore, if I understood correctly, he proposes his own tempo for this piece

which is not a bad idea given that the score indicates performing a cadenza a piacere, something that many do not do....

Experiment, listen to the following 2 videos in a row:

La Campanella by Yundi Li

It seems that's all... but instead ...

Evgeny Kissin Liszt-La Campanella in gis-moll

... it is not just a matter of technique.

LISITSA, I believe he is the reincarnation of Liszt, and then Ashkenazy, Argerich, Richter and Kissin. many people love Berezowsky, but I have listened to him too little to be able to appreciate him

It is simply absurd that a pianist like this has remained in the shadows...

mmmm very interesting.... very inspiring I must say..... I love it!!!!!!!

Why not compare André Laplante with Vladimir Horowitz? Listen to Mephisto Waltz No.1 (of which Horowitz is one of the arrangers):
