Import 10 CD collection. A critic once described the special artistic relationship enjoyed by Hungarian pianist Georges Cziffra with Franz Liszt as follows: ''An atavistic power emanates from Cziffra's Hungarian rhapsodies, Liszt in cruel, rousing, biting beauty.'' Cziffra devoted himself to the works of his fellow countryman with particular intensity. On these recordings Cziffra impressively confirms his reputation as a veritable artist.
