A short brisk overture, Colas Breugnon by Kabalevsky opens this concert. Cziffra Jr is then joined by Gyorgy Cziffra senior in a gently lyrical and poetic performance of Cesar Franck's Symphonic Variations. This was a time of great celebrity for Cziffra and he was adored by audiences in his adopted country France. Cziffra Jr. was to die in a house fire in 1981 after which Cziffra never played with orchestra again. His last Liszt recording is dedicated to his son's memory.
