By now, the story of Ervin Nyíregyházi has become so legendary, it scarcely needs repeating: a child-prodigy on the level of Mozart and Saint-Saens, a spectacular Carnegie Hall debut in 1920, a career flameout soon thereafter, ten marriages, and decades of poverty before a short lived rediscovery in the 1970s.
Nyiregyhazi freely doubles bass notes, so the melody is always floating on a cradle of rumbling lower notes. His tempi are slow (even by today's standards), and his playing is rhythmically free even when compared to 19th Century pianists such as Pachmann and Paderewski. With Nyíregyházi's approach, the printed text is merely a point of departure...
There are no proper recordings of him in his prime. He was only recorded later when he hadn't owned a piano or practiced properly in 40 years and he was usually very drunk. Kevin Bazzana released a book about his remarkable life (he had ten wives before his death, one of whom tried to murder him and one of whom was the mother of a previous wife), called "Lost Genius".
