The tension buildup from 2:40 onwards is absolutely genius, has to be one of the most goosbumps evocating dramatic passages in the whole of romantic piano repertoire.
Calm down, cowboy. It's absolutely amazing and it gives me genuine goosebumps but "the most goosebump evocating dramatic passage in the whole of romantic piano repertoire?" No.
Gifleo no it’s amazing. It gave me shivers. Trills in previous classical music were used to give off a happy emotion but Liszt here uses the trills to give off a sad emotion and it’s genius! That passage actually made me sob out loud. Liszt was a genius! Don’t ever say that he wasn’t. Notice how Liszt is using a crescendo to make the music louder whilst the tension is building? And then the music is suddenly quiet? It’s genius.
@@ryacoli Also, another piece where Liszt uses trills to convey and emphasize sadness is in the reminiscences des puritains. It's a great piece, and I highly recommend it a listen.
absolutely agree! im new to Liszt, and that's not really a difficult piece to learn (for example, i can play Valse Romantique by Debussy), the part on 2:45 was a little tricky, but i already understood how to play it.
I had the privilege to Study with Ms. Mikulska for a week this summer. She is as wonderful to work with as she is a pianist, I learned so much from her and could not have enjoyed it more. Listening to this now with the understanding I received from her makes it all the more amazing and emotionally enthralling. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recording by such a wonderful pianist and teacher.
Thank you for this post and all the other wonderful posts of rarely heard works by Liszt! It is so wonderful to have the score synched to the recording. I have this lovely version by Aleksandra Mikulska on CD (a great disc, highly recommended), but it is enhanced so much by being able to follow it visually. Your choice of works and pianists in your posts strikes me as discerning and far-ranging, and confirms both the astonishing breadth of Liszt's gifts and the fact that we are fortunate to live at a time when there are so many gifted performers who treat his music with the seriousness it deserves. :)
"Complainte, another dumka, is the song of a blind girl Liszt heard on the street in Kiev.".... and besides this, of her life, probably nothing else is or ever will be known....
Thank you so much for your posting Liszt. Oh ,it is whole reach world I didn't know about. Listening with big satisfaction... every sound is nice and deeply
Your channel is a GREAT help to me, since I am currently in the process of making a playlist of the complete piano works of Liszt. Therefore, congrats! You have a new subscriber! Csardas No. 1 next! (same set as Csardas Obstine)
3:27 couldn't be anyone else. The crazy part is that Liszt very likely improvised these cascades and played it differently every time. Beyond our imagination.
This is such a beautiful piece, thanks a lot for the work you put to make people discover these hidden gems. Could you tell me where I could find the sheets your are using? I could not find them on IMSLP
Great performance by Mikulska of Liszt's early transcriptions of Slavic folk melodies (except maybe the second one, which is a Chopin song)! And also Andrei, I recommend you check out Chiu's recordings of Liszt's complete Schwanengesang transcriptions (except maybe Die Taubenpost-it is a splendid performance, but he used the more facile ossia compared to Liszt's original passage, though maybe it is up to you). Apart from Aufenthalt, Liebesbotschaft and Ständchen-it appears that the rest is rarely known, which is a huge shame. I think the set needs some recognition. The Die Stadt and Am Meer transcriptions are one of my favorites.
@@jerry_moo After checking the copyright policy of Frederic Chiu's recordings, he has chosen to block their usage on CZcams, so I won't be able to use those :(
Andrei Cristian Anghel, Aww man, well I only know of a recording by Lisiecka (she records the whole set, as does Chiu). But her interpretation from some of what I hear seems inferior, in compared to Avan Yu’s interpretations of some of the Schwanengesang transcriptions might do the trick-and he performs the original hard Die Taubenpost passages (near the coda) as well, so that's great. But I suggest you compare their interpretations, as I haven’t listened much of Lisiecka’s playing on some of the transcriptions though.
@@AndreiAnghelLiszt Ashish's uploads of Chiu's chopin etudes are still up, so maybe the label doesn't enforce the block strictly? Most labels generally forbid usage of their recordings but, case by case, prefer to monetize the uploads instead. Compare for example with Hyperion, who will immediately block anything as soon as it's uploaded. You should maybe try one or two songs first and see if they stay up. Thanks for the ogod work!
Grana Liszt foi um profundo Inovador na História da Música Um revolucionário e um intérprete e instrumentista como poucos, ele transformou o conserto e o recital. Inovou a forma de se apresentar e suas ousadias harmônicas e melódicas abriram caminho para outros gênios, como polonês Chopin. Mas a ele se tem precisa reverenciar o pioneirismo e a inovação da arte de pianística!
@@liviu445 Absolutely disagree. Even though I am a hardcore Liszt fan, it is known that he was highly influenced by Chopin and respected him greatly. He even wrote a biography about him. Both of them were extraordinary geniuses with a different musical language, and both undoubtebly took musical idioms and inspiration from each other.
The Allegretto of Ballade d'Ukraine is played almost as fast as the subsequent Andante, and both as fast as the Lento of the Complainte. Is the performed tempo in the first piece correct? Idk?
I love the complainte dumka from Liszt (one of my favourite pieces), but I dislike the way the pianist played some of the parts here... He played those parts way too fast, especially the tremolo section.
"to be honest with you, I don't know why local Ukrainian peasants would be singing foreign songs" - As part of the Kingdom of Poland - the leading member of the Two Nations Republic known under a plethora of names such as _Rzeczpospolita Polska_ , _The Commonwealth of Two Nations_ etc. (the other nation being _The Great Duchy of Lithuania_ ) - Ukraine had undergone strong Polish influence through the ages, especially its western part. Therefore, it's not beyond the impossible for Ukrainians and Poles to have shared cultural patterns. Why western? Woronince is in the West of Ukraine, a stone's throw from the former lands of the Austrian empire, with a dense Slavic population of then-Austrian Galicia (not to confuse with a Spanish region of the same name.). Today, Galicia is in Poland. As for the interpretation, it was too soft, anaemic and honest to the text to uncover hidden beauties of the typical Lisztian dabs here and there.
Repent and trust in Jesus. we deserve Hell for our sins. For example lying, lusing, saying God's name as a cuss word and stealing our just some examples of sin which we can all admit to doing at least one of those. For our sin we deserve death and Hell, but there is a way out. Repent anf trust in Jesus and you will be saved. Repentence is turning from sin. So repent and trust in Jesus. He will save you from Hell, and instead give you eternal life in Heaven. John 3:16 Romans 3:23❤😊❤😊
