Is this the Danse Macabre? it's the perfect introduction to uematsu's art. I reckon this is the most exciting thing I've ever heard, I also like how he keep this part of the Liszt version which has the repeated octaves/chords.

the only thing I don't like is the way he played the interlocking octaves, too much pedal. Apart from that this rec is true smegging pregnant cat.  8)

Yeah, it's fast, but no faster than Cziffra himself (the 1957 recording on YouTube comes out the same within about a second) and The Boss also gives a lot more light, shade and shape to the piece. Not that I don't envy Mr Uematsu his technical facility, mind.
