I have just been watching two amazing dvd's - one of berezovsky playing all the transcendentals, and one of Cziffra playing Liszt (inc. grand galop) Chopin and Franck (it also has Moiseiwitsch doing Wagner/Liszt Tannhauser). Has anyone seen these or anything else that's interesting?

Theres a film David Dubal did called Golden Age of the Piano. On the DVD edition it is followed by a complete live performance of Beethoven's 4th concerto with Arrau and Ricardo Muti. Very good.

And where can I purchase these in VHS?

I have some pretty cool videos:

Cziffra playing a lot of things, including Schumann Toccata, and some improvising (which is amazing)

Bolet giving a masterclass on the Rach 3rd from London in the 80's with a very young Barry Douglas, among the students.

Kapell special from the MET (very short recital, unfortunately, the only video of Kapell).

Gavrilov playing a solo recital of Rachmaninoff and Scriabin (plus an amazing Campanella as an encore) from germany, early 80's.

Wow, where did you get the Bolet video from ?

Hello,

I would very much appreciate a precise reference on the
Cziffra/Tocatta, Kapell, Bolet, and the original 2 DVD references.

It would be nice if a bibliography of piano videos could be put
up some place.

Thanks,
Bobo

 From a Bolet freak, I really doubt that it's a commercially available video (unfortunately).

 Actually, I'm not supposed to have the Kapell video, so don't tell anyone.
 I could get you in contact with president of the Cziffra society if you're interested in any Cziffra materials..just IM me.

I have the following DVDs I enjoy a lot :

- The golden age of the piano, with as a bonus Claudio Arrau performing Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 4 with Riccardo Muti and the Philadelphia Orchestra.

- Martha Argerich and Friends. Argerich plays among other pieces Rachmaninov's suite for 2 piano op17 n2 and Ravel's La Valse with Nelson Freire.

- Martha Argerich Plays Schumann Piano Concerto in A minor, Liszt Funerailles, Ravel Jeux d'Eau. The sound on this one is not very good though.

The bookstores or Amazon.com don't see to carry these, except for just a few, and if available in bookstores, only in DVD.

So where do you get all these videos in VHS?
