Right now I'm setting my sights on ordering the Cziffra recording but I would like to query the Pianist Corner to see if there are recordings considered better than Cziffra's out there. Thanks!

He has a disc with a collection of Liszt opera transcriptions that are the best I've ever heard. I would buy this one! Claudio Arau has a good recording that is compiled in a set with some other performers. It has Michele Campanella playing Reminiscences de Norma by Bellini, which is difficult to find. Although, Hamelin's recording of it is better... I personally don't agree with a lot of Cziffra's interpretations of Liszt. Some people think he was the reincarnation of Liszt, I think he was an incredible virtuoso with some... interesting interpretations. - Zack -
