About "Liszt: Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 in C sharp minor, S.244" by David Helfgott
Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 bursts forth with czardas fire, Helfgott's hands a whirlwind of paprika and melancholy. The piece's famous friska accelerates into delirium, a carnival ride that threatens to derail. Virtuosity as ecstatic release, joy laced with danger.
