Yes, amazing.
Here he was trying to resurrect a late Brahms, late in his own life. Less successful, but interesting to see. He probably hadn't played it in years.

@kluurs believe it or not, I learned that when I was in my teens. I believe this was the arrangement.
I've watched him play this at least a dozen times.
I never understood that high-handed stuff at about 0:48. Also, why switch the trill from one hand to another, like at 0:43? Also, there was no glissando at the end.

The Cziffra version is harder. A LOT harder.

He doesn't do the glissandos (glissandi?) at the end either.
