An unpublished December 1970 concert performance by Cuban-born pianist Jorge Bolet of the Verdi-Liszt Rigoletto Paraphrase. Despite his playing having appeared in a Hollywood movie about Liszt a decade earlier, Bolet was still not having tremendous success in his career - which is staggering to consider when one hears playing of this calibre. His tremendous bravura and massive sonority are wonderfully complemented by his delicate tonal shadings and refined nuances - proof positive that virtuoso works are not antithetical to musical, attentive interpretation.
