Liszt Polonaise No 2 De Greef Rec 1927.wmv This is the only recording of this work that captures Liszt's tempo directions, Allegro Pomposo Con Brio. Most post Romantic era pianists are not comfortable with the word "pomposo." Somewhere I recall reading an article concerning an interview with Claudio Arrau. The individual who was conducting the interview had brought a few recordings of certain pianists and was seeking Arrau's opinion of their performances. Among the recordings was that of De Greef playing Liszt's Polonaise No 2. Arrau opined that the recording was the best the interviewer had brought. Frankly, I was surprised by Arrau's response. I suspect had the interviewer said that it was recorded by Paderewski, Arrau would have responded by saying that it was one of the worse recordings that he had ever heard. I also suspect that the interviewer was surprised by Arrau's response because he said, "But don't you think that the performance is a little over the top?" I am not sure that the interviewer used the words" over the top" but I am sure that I have accurately conveyed his meaning. And that meaning is the main reason that this interview has stuck in my memory. . There are certain composers that pianists should not play if they are concerned with being accused of giving a performance that is "over the top." Liszt is one of them.

De Greef started composing at the age of 30. His most significant works are his two piano concertos. He was a devoted teacher and taught piano at the Brussels Conservatory for many years. --- Arthur De Greef (1862 - 1940l) war ein ...
