  DeGreef Grieg Concerto
Belgium-born Arthur De Greef (1862-1940) had the distinction of studying with Franz Liszt.
Grieg totally endorsed De Greef's performance of his music ("De Greef is the best interpreter of my music I have met with"), although later he also endorsed Percy Grainger in the same fashion -- and the two pianists' performance styles differed significantly as can be heard from the latter's live recordings.
De Greef recorded an acoustic abbreviated version of Grieg's concerto in 1921 for Victor and made the first complete recording of the concerto for the same label January 18, 1927 in the early days of electric recording, heard on this new CD.

 Arthur de Greef - Piano Concerto [JW]: Classical CD Reviews- April 2003 MusicWeb(UK)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
This particular release is notable for the Grieg Concerto because the composer was a friend and known admirer of de Greef and had been since their first meeting in 1889 when the pianist performed under Grieg's baton for the first time.
De Greef was, in all respects, an intensely musical, non-sensationalist, eloquent and impressive musician and whilst not being averse to some of the interventionist tactics of his contemporaries (retouching of the score) remained sympathetically self-effacing.
De Greef can't do much in response to the groaning portamenti of the string section of the orchestra - if you object to the Hallé's portamenti of about this period (say roughly 1924-1932) you'll find the Manchester band cleanliness itself in comparison.

The Belgian pianist Arthur De Greef (1862-1940) studied with Franz Liszt, and enjoyed the endorsement of Saint-Saëns and Grieg.
De Greef's 1927 HMV recording of Grieg's A-Minor Concerto reveals the pianist's noble style, solid technique, and unmannered musicianship.
De Greef's 1925 Chopin B-flat Minor Sonata (the work's first electrical recording) is a mite straightlaced and sober compared to the more personalized poetry of Rachmaninov and Cortot, or Godowsky's chiseled refinement, among shellac contenders.

Unlike Sauer, he lost his power to thunder in his old age, but he made it up in all the nuances and colours whihc are quite well captured here.
D'albert was probably the greatest of all Lizst pupils, something we don't want to miss, same for de Greef and indeed all others here.
But the transfer here leaves much to be desired, even for those who are not new to (mono) archive records: surface noise is too heavy for general enjoyment.

 Marston - Emil von Sauer
Lamenting on how numerous untalented pupils took advantage of Liszt’s generosity, he wrote, “Such pupils greatly outnumbered the few who by reason of suitable preparation were ready and able to cope with the situation.
These could be counted on the fingers—Friedheim, Rosenthal, Reisenauer, Stavenhagen, Siloti, Dayas, van de Sandt, S. Liebling, Göllerich, and several others....
Even Arthur de Greef, the only Liszt pupil other than Sauer to record both Liszt Concerti, had notably different conceptions of the two Concerti.
