Pianoroll recordingsi1921-27)

Nyiregyházi made a dozen pianoroll recordings for The Ampico Corp. I chose several recordings that captured his unique style and brilliant technique.

Liszt: gMazeppah in D Minor, No. 4 from the Eudes d'execution transcendante (ca. spring or summer of 1924; November 1924; 63703H)

Tchaikovsky, arranged by Percy Grainger: Concert Paraphrase on the gFlower Waltzh from The Nutcracker (ca. September 1922; January 1923; 61613H).
-----this is my favorite recording.
