 Mephisto Waltz #1 - Audio Recordings
February 02, 2011, 03:14:39 PM by the romantic

Hello all,
For some years I have been collecting audio performances of Liszt's Mephisto Waltz (#1). In my collection I have 44 recordings, two of which are unidentified! I was hoping that someone here could Identify the performers for me. The files are all huge, so I have reduced the quality to attach them to this post.
Here is a list of all the performances I already have:
| Year | Performer | Type | Length | | 1954 | Anda, Geza | Studio | 11:24 | | 1963 | Arrau, Claudio | Live | 11:37 | | 1989 | Arrau, Claudio | Studio | 12:49 | | 1970 | Ashkenazy, Vladimir | Studio | 11:02 | | 2010 | Berezovsky, Boris | Live | 08:30 | | 2009 | Berezovsky, Boris | Live | 08:54 | | 2009 | Berezovsky, Boris | Live | 08:54 | | 1967 | Berman, Lazar | Studio | 11:09 | | 2005 | Blet, Stephane | Studio | 11:17 | | 1982 | Bolet, Jorge | Studio | 11:38 | | 1958 | Brendel, Alfred | Studio | 11:14 | | 2007 | Buniatishvili, Khatia | Live | 09:56 | | 2001 | Chan, Susan | Studio | 11:17 | | 1972 | Cliburn, Van | Live | 11:27 | | 1959 | Cziffra, Gyorgy | Studio | 11:24 | | 1977 | Dichter, Misha | Studio | 10:45 | | | Economou, Nicolas | Studio | 11:26 | | 1980 | Economou, Nicolas | Studio | 11:37 | | 1986 | Feinberg, Samuel | Studio | 10:41 | | 1958 | Foldes, Andor | Studio | 10:43 | | 2007 | Fuks, Anzhelika | Live | 10:36 | | 1979 | Horowitz, Vladimir | Live | 12:15 | | 2008 | Hough, Stephen | Live | 11:20 | | 1985 | Howard, Leslie | Studio | 11:18 | | 1995 | Howard, Leslie | Studio | 10:07 (1st version) | | 2006 | Jando, Jeno | Live | 10:34 | | 1945 | Kapell, William | Studio | 09:53 | | 2006 | Karamenderes, Bayram | Live | 10:35 | | 2003 | Matsuev, Denis | Studio | 11:30 | | 1997 | Meyrick, Richard | Studio | 10:33 | | 2004 | Montero, Gabriela | Studio | 11:39 | | 1987 | Nagy, Peter | Studio | 11:50 | | 1961 | Ogdon, John | Studio | 11:17 | | 2001 | Ove Andsnes, Leif | Studio | 11:10 | | 1991 | Paik, Kun Woo | Studio | 11:24 | | 1984 | Pletnev, Mikhail | Studio | 11:48 | | 1958 | Richter, Sviatoslav | Studio | 11:07 | | 1955 | Rubinstein, Artur | Studio | 10:47 | | 1980 | Setrakian, Setrak | Studio | 12:05 (Apparently his recording) | | 1989 | Sultanov, Alexei | Live | 10:58 | | | Wild, Earl | Studio | 10:43 | | 2003 | Würtz, Klára | Studio | 11:20 | | | | | | | | Unknown 1 | Studio | 11:38 | | | Unknown 2 | Studio | 10:47 |
Most of these recordings were taken from my personal CD collection, with some from YouTube ( & other sources on the internet). As you can see, there a few pieces of information missing. The date of Earl Wild's recording (perhaps he made more than one studio recording?), and the date of Economou's performance (which is from this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmIolZU5PRw I'd appreciate it if anyone could help out!
Regarding the unknown performaces, the first one I found somewhere online, and in the file properties it says that it's Artur Rubinstein. However, it is definitely not the recording from this CD: http://www.amazon.com/Rubinstein-Collection-Vol-Franz-Liszt/dp/B00005427B/, because the details of that one are already on the list. Does anyone know of another studio recording from Rubinstein that it might be?
The 2nd one should be easy to identify. It's a recording I quite enjoyed and it's the Busoni transcription. The ending sounds very similar to the live recording that I have of Van Cliburn. Does anyone have a studio recording of Van Cliburn to check it against?
In trying to identify these tracks, I immediately checked them against tracks of a similar length from my collection. This didn't turn up any answers, so it's pretty safe to rule out those recordings on my list.
Meanwhile, if anyone would like to trade files, I would love to find recordings by any of the following:
Murray Perahia
Julius Katchen
Alfredo Perl
Dezső Ránki
Francois-René Duchable
Minoru Nojima
Evgeny Kissin (Studio)
Or any that I don't have for that matter. 
EDIT: 2nd track is Van Cliburn from 1975!

Ashkenazy - Mephisto Waltz

I remember reading a short while ago, though I cannot recall where, of a recording by Ashkenazy of Liszt's Mephisto Waltz No 1 that lasts under 10 minutes. Does anyone know where I can find this recording, as I would love to hear this favorite pianist of mine perform such a feat?
Much thanks in advance!

Hi! Started with this again after a few months' break. I try to remember it by heart, so that's one reason why I miss in some places.
Comments, please. I'm self-tought so I especially appreciate comments on how to move on.

"I was in Poland the past summer to give 2 concerts. At the last minute they requested some Chopin, which I had not brought with me. So, I google-searched for classical downloads and found your site. I was able to print out excellent editions of the pieces I needed within minutes. To find the scores locally would have been inpossible as it was a smaller town, the nearest music store 45 minutes away."

"Piano Street has been a wonderful tool to me as both a pianist and a piano teacher. I can browse the collection for pieces I want to play and/or have my students play. The difficulty rating system that Piano Street uses enables me to search by difficulty level for pieces at my students' various playing levels. It is helpful that many of the scores include an audio clip of the piece being played. I have recommended to my advanced students that they also join Piano Street since getting sheet music from there is a much less expensive alternative to ordering and paying for the music.
