- What an encore! Liebestraum No. 3 by Franz Liszt, played by Khatia Buniatishvili at the 2011 Verbier Festival.
The ‘Dream of Love’ that is Liebestraum No. 3 in A-flat major is not only the most recognizable work for solo piano by Franz Liszt (1811 - 1886), it’s also one of the most famous piano pieces of all time. Liszt published it in 1850, alongside two more such ‘love dreams’ (S. 541).
The basis for Liebestraum No. 3 was the earlier Lied ‘O lieb, so lang du lieben kannst’ (S. 298), which Liszt composed for solo voice and piano accompaniment in 1845. For the lyrics, Liszt reappropriated the first four verses from the poem of the same name, by Ferdinand Freiligrath (1810-1876). The Lied dealt with reminiscing over a lost love - and the too-late realization of not having that love lived to its fullest.
Liebestraum No. 3 for piano is a mood piece, in which the opening melody of the song becomes the main theme, repeated through multiple variations. The Liebestraum carries a characteristic atmosphere of melancholy. Khatia Buniatishvili is enraptured as she plays, as if she were alone with Liebestraum No. 3 in the concert hall - a most romantic work for piano in an interpretation that none could fail to be drawn into.
Pianist Khatia Buniatishvili, born in 1987 in Tbilisi/Georgia, was considered a wunderkind as a child. She began playing piano at the age of three, giving her first concert with the Tbilisi Concert Orchestra at age six. International performances followed from the age of ten. In 2008, she had her US debut in New York's Carnegie Hall. Since then, Buniatishvili has been a regularly invite at many high-profile festivals, and has performed concerts in the world's most renowned concert halls, including Vienna's Musikverein, the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, and the Berlin Philharmonic. She has twice received the highly respected Echo Classic Award.
The Verbier Festival is one of the world’s most prestigious classical music events. The quality of participating artists - coupled with the originality of the programs - has established the festival as a highlight of the musical calendar. It is held for two weeks - from late July to early August - in the mountain resort of Verbier, Switzerland.

lo
Liszt would be proud of her! She plays so beautifully !
hello again
Hello again
@@amarillo1525hi
Such a treat discovering one of your favorite pianists playing one of your favorite pieces
Who wouldn't be proud of her.. :)
I didn't know the piano could be played this softly, especially in a large auditorium. Beautiful.
piano forte.
واو بيانو🤯
Being a Steinway makes all the difference.
@@thomast8539 no, being a top pianist does! ;-)
@@richard1849pianoforte, since you’re correcting what doesn’t need to be corrected. Might as well spell it as intended.
The way she played the part after 2:50 gave it a totally new meaning for me... usually I hear people power through it but this really brought out a different emotion
I agree. It was dream-like; far better with less intensity.
It's beautiful, but I'm my head I always had the ideia of the first part being when you are going to rest, and start thinking about your life, the first cadenxa for me is like when you are falling asleep and entering a dream, then the climax of the piece is also the climax of the dream, while the second cadenza is when you wake up from your dream and slowly get up (just my opinion) that's the only reasonn I would do that pianissimo there
@@santiagocaldeira7555 that's really a beautiful way to put it, I personally live it.
Have you heard Tiffany Poon's version? Totally stunning. This is wonderful too!
Maybe you know better...
Okay, I'm crying. The emotion she can portray through her playing is outstanding. Wow.
I love how "calm" this interpretation is.
Where others rush you just let the melody sing - beautiful!
That's the mark of a true artist--the willingness to surrender one's will to the music itself. To be gifted' in my opinion, is about making a gift, a portal of oneself TO a moment of truth/beauty seeking expression in the world. Khatia knows intuitively how to serve as a conduit through which the music--translated into notes--flows to our ears.
💔Beautiful
exactly! I don't understand why "original or traditional" versions of a lot of pieces are so rushed despite it sounding it worse then if it was really calmed down and played expressively as I'm sure Liszt would have played it himself!
@@damienenrightofficial
International Association of Theatre Critics (Hong Kong) 31.03.2016 .....
One may say that it is important for musicians to have a unique musical style and personality, but is it even acceptable to interpret the pieces like what Buniatishvili did? Buniatishvili is intoxicated by being virtuosic and often forgets what is behind the music. One should have faith in his or her own interpretation, but he or she should also re-think whether he or she is doing justice to the music or not. In addition, technique is much more than playing the notes accurately and rapidly. Technique refers to the total mastery of the keyboard. Yet, at times Buniatishvili’s playing lost control, no matter use of pedal, or tone production. Virtuosity does not necessarily mean speed and volume. In order to become a mature artist with individuality, Buniatishvili has to reflect on her musical approach and attitude towards music making.

Die georgische Pianistin spielte ein Recital in der Laeiszhalle, das zu harmlos schön war, um letztlich gut zu sein. Die Kritik.
... Aber als Interpretin, man muss es wohl so deutlich schreiben und erklären, nervt sie oft und sehr.
Nicht, weil sie konkret schlecht spielen würde, dafür ist die Georgierin viel zu begabt und viel zu sehr eine Gefühlsriesin, beides schon ziemlich gute Voraussetzungen für ein Leben mit und für Musik. Sie weiß also, was sie tut und genau so, was sie lässt. Und wahrscheinlich noch viel besser, wie unmittelbar das auf ihre Fan-Gemeinde wirkt. Was tatsächlich und viel mehr so deutlich nervt, ist dieses Übermaß an gewollter, forcierter und unnötig verfremdender Eigenwilligkeit, mit der sie sich ihr jeweiliges Konzept-Repertoire zurechtschmust und manche wehrlose Stücke knietief ins Kitschige treibt. Oder andere, auch nicht schön, kurz und klein donnert ...
This beautiful woman is such an amazing and expressive pianist! I love watching her facial expressions while she plays. She sees and feels every note she plays. Awesome!!
"... Speaking of flair, Buniatishvili emerged from the wings in a shiny silver dress, which said “Vegas.” The woman behind me remarked to the man she was with, “You don’t need to hear the music”-in other words, looking was enough. ... But, again, she was extreme. She slapped at the keyboard vulgarly. At one point, she stood up, the better to pound the keyboard. Her playing hurt my ears, ... And she seemed to play heedless of the public, heedless of pianistic norms, heedless of anything. I thought, “She’s in her own private Idaho.” ... Afterward, audience members went to the front of the hall, to take her picture. She beamed. She will obviously be a “star,” and is probably one already: the dress, the lionessness, the loudness. I imagine she’ll be known as “Khatia,” with the “Buniatishvili” on the sidelines."... THE NEW CRITERION by Jay Nordlinger, New York City " If our end-of-year lists included not only the 10 best performances but also the 10 worst, the recital presented Tuesday night by pianist Khatia Buniatishvili might be hard to dethrone from the latter list’s first place. ... "But Buniatishvili, who performed in a glittery, bright-red dress, was all about self-indulgence. Sometimes grotesquely distorted, this was music reflected in the aural equivalent of funhouse mirrors. One could only guess that the standing ovations, whoops and bravas came from people not well acquainted with the pieces." ..." Or maybe this is just how she plays. I shall not be keen to hear her again. ..." ... THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS Scott Cantell ..."No matter how fast she plays, no matter what the character of the music, everything comes across the same way - the pianistic equivalent of a society wedding photograph, with edges blurred and defining human characteristics removed. ... Buniatishvili is neither careless nor ungifted. She is simply overhyped, immature and preoccupied with beauty of presentation - a poor example to the legions of young pianists who aspire to her fame and fortune. At no point did this recital reveal a shred of the musical temperament we expect of a scion of Georgian musical tradition." ... THE FINANCIAL TIMES Ltd 2014 06.06.2014 THE GUARDIAN classical music Wigmore Hall, London Andrew Clements Thursday 2 April 2015 12.28 BST ...The good news is that the piano survived it all intact; the bad is that on the question of whether Buniatishvili can ever be a serious artist, the jury is very much still out.
@@georgescancan7503 exactly everything u said. It’s actually gross to me Boring the classical world won’t let it happen. We see through this quite quickly. I’m surprised you even went. Your circumstances must not have allowed otherwise
@@sagemaster3408 It is probably a good sign that some who think are experts of interpretation are angry when they see and hear Buniatishvili. I have listened to and played classical music from my younger years on, and I like the way she plays. But I guess in the eyes of an "expert" that does not qualify me in any sense. In no other musical genre (than classical) I have come across such critical arrogance and narrow- minded-ness (in terms of what is "right", "wrong", ok and not ok) - which is why I turned away from the classical world quite a while ago.
@@bernios3446 I think ur missing the point of the comments.
@@sagemaster3408 Do I? I know the reproaches - "self- indulgance" being one of the more frequent ones. "She slapped at the keyboard vulgarly. At one point, she stood up, the better to pound the keyboard" - I haven't been at the said concert, but the recordings that I have seen and heard here on YT and elsewhere are quite the opposite, very delicate and full of tenderness and expression.
This is the most delicate, best portrayed piece of art, being played by someone who, beyond having a technique that is impecable, does it from her heart.
Such a reserved and calm interpretation of the piece. It really brings out the subtlety where a lot of times people just power through it. A true beauty to hear.
Franz Liszt would have loved the way in which Khatia plays this piece. I've sure never heard Liebestraum played so sweetly.
👍
Yes, I really love it ❤️
@@franzliszt8681 We appreciate your input Franz.
@@franzliszt8681 You're alive??
@@franzliszt8681 Sir Franz, you are the best!
it's great how the melody is so clear even though she plays quietly
Everything I hear her play sounds like the first time I have heard it. Even an old favorite like this one.
By far, the best interpretation of liebestraum I've ever heard.
The sound recording and filmwork of your sound engineers & film makers was out of this world. Magnificent. Such a lovely and uplifting performance from Khatia. Bravo
Thank you!
She really put tears in my eyes, she did it...
This was my mother’s favorite piece for the piano. It’s beautiful. And I love this lady’s performance.
I’ve been playing this piece for almost a year. This level of performance is just so hard to reach....
Hard to reach, even harder to teach. Look at her face when she plays a piece; Khatia feels every note, even the 'notes' (energy) between the notes, the silences. She reaches for and translates the inner truth of a piece. Technical prowess alone is for robots; audiences may be impressed but never moved by a performance that doesn't stir their own emotions.
If you haven't seen it, watch the movie Black Swan, with Mila Kunis & Natalie Portman. About ballerinas, not musicians. One scene in particular is relevant to all true artists--the teacher criticizes Kunis' character for failing to lose herself in the dance; she never lets go, never surrenders to forces that want to express themselves through her technically perfect movements. Understand?
"Technique is what you fall back on when you run out of inspiration."
~Rudolf Nureyev
This level of performance is why people get degrees in music performance.
Just listen to this performance over and over again and allow it to fill your soul as it should. It is sensual, when you are mature you will understand.
@@writerforlifeify the idealization and idolization of musicians reaches inexplicable heights lol
@@r.j4449 Too true; I still can't get an answer to my question....why does Khatia not compose her own original music? Or will she interpret the classical masters forever?
Khatia, I fall in a Long dream by listening your beautiful melodies in the piano. God bless you for ever.
No haste, all intentional sweeping of notes to evoke the melody that lies within. What beautiful interpretations this lady performs. Liszt would be so impressed and humbled.
I love her so much.. how does she do that? Every time she plays something, it becomes the best version out there! Congratulations Khatia ❤❤❤❤
Yes, I've heard several of her performances on here, and each piece has been a very beautiful new 'take'. Also beautiful to watch her melding her soul into the music.
The music pours out of her onto the piano. Absolutely fabulous! ❤️
Sorry to say, but... this lady is not Khatia. This lady is Maria Joao Pires, a portuguese pianist. If you're referring to Khatia Buniatishvili the Georgian pianist, well... even though she's a good pianist, she still has quite a bit to mature in order to reach this level.
I always thought that Maria Joao Pires plays with her soul, pure spontaneous emotion, no need for ego's theatrical expression.
@@ruipratas83 what are you talking about this is absolutely Khatia!
@@cindylynch4502 You're absolutely right. My mistake. I posted the comment on the wrong video !
I was watching a few videos simultaneously... and then this happens ! Ooops !
Thanks for calling my attention.
The moment of silence after the piece was incredible
She played that piece with her eyes closed! A M A Z I N G !
This is really great! She has a very lovely pianissimo touch. Shading of lines is hard to do and she makes it seem effortless. I like her playing very much.
If anyone tells you Liszt is just a technical show-off, show them this piece.
Also Un Sospiro. Lizst was a fantastic composer.
@@chainuser1774 un sospiro is like mephisto waltz or transcendental etudes but little bit less spicy more melancholic
and the others 300 religious/impressionistic pieces he wrote ;)
@@kungfupepus1581 his transcription of schubert’s der doppelgänger is one of the most hauntingly beautiful pieces i’ve ever heard
There are Pearls in her performance ! Absolutely Gorgeous
It’s like she pulls the complex emotions out of the keys, stretches them into the moment in time when you’re listening/watching her hand and facial expressions.
Don't ask how she plays, but ask how she made you feel, if heaven can ever be put into words
Undoubtfully this is a piece of Heaven. Khatia´s sensitivity and utter pleasure in what she is interpreting , which she obviously wants to share with us listeners, makes it an unforgettable aural experience. Thank you.
Splendida simply
"Making love" with the piano is the only way to elevate it to this level. Goosebumps.
The music sounds sorrowful and melancholic, but it's a sorrow full of calmness and hopefulness.
The gift from the Gods of this Goddess. A brain to hold all the huge scores of all the composers works, and intrepretet them to perfection, and the physical arms and fingers to work the instrument to perfection, along with the outstanding physical beauty. There are other great, good looking, talented classical piano artists, but this Goddess stands out.
Zeus bless Khatia
Ah ah that's not actually how that works, unless you are Rain Man. You need a lot of practice every day in order to keep in memory (and technique) pieces. No one can expect to be able to remember everything months, years later. You need to dedicate your entire life to the instrument, and that's actually that point that is the most remarkable and beautiful thing among high level artists.
@@j.thomas1420 She has indeed dedicated her entire life to the instrument, BUT....What if she indeed has the brain of a Rain Man??
@@urseldoran9782 it's a scientific term called "expert memory". To summarize, one is able to learn faster and "bigger" as he get more skilled into something. At that point you are able to memorise easily bigger informations, or play blindfolded etc. Yeah, that's less poetic than the god gift stuff. And yet you are still not completetly immune to memory loss problem, look for that Glenn Gould story (who was a little more "like" our Rain Man "ideal").
@@j.thomas1420 Thanks for the notes of KEEN interest. I watch her and Yuja Wand daily on my big screen TV. It is the worship of the Goddesses!!!
The most beautiful and talented woman in the world. I Love to hear her play. An Angel
The understatement is the music flows through her, as if she wrote it and owns it.
Phenomenal So gifted she leaves me speechless.
On top of it all sheDROP DEAD GORGEOUS!.
Quite agree. She beautiful
This is a new and incredibly beautiful interpretation-and masterfully played. I’ve never heard it played so calm before, without all the schmalz-which I myself as a pianist am toootally guilty of.
I needed to hear this today. Thank you.
The translation which is the dream of love, is already self explanatory for this piece, gentle but penetrating my heart!
BRAVO, it sounds different, more beautiful, fresh, played with soul ..
Personification of pure feelings and note-by-note piano essence.
Beauty to the eye and ear. Such a touch on the keys. Almost without a touch, Buniatishvili brings the sound forth.
love the sequins on that gown. it's perfect for her and the occasion. Thank you Khatia for coming into our world. You are as beautiful as the music.
how powerful is music!! In my the darkest time-I listen to this and it give me a part of sunshine in my heart
Hear this 10 times a day...in spite of the coughing. My brain doesn't even register them. Sublime. Bravo again
I like the arrangement of notes you play it so beautifully. One of the most technical versions to play but you make it so effortless. I listened many times and appreciate this as 1 of your masterpieces.
i absolutely love this piece, and i love her interpretation. this is so beautiful. it is an amazing resource to listen to while learning it.
Queen of the piano. Khatia Buniatishvili.Romantic to the core. Moves your heart and soul, utterly.
Khatia's music making is transcendental and spell binding. She is the single most elegant pianist of our time.
absolutely beautiful - she just lifts my soul with this rendition
Effortless and sublime - as all the really gifted pianists perform.
Beautiful music played by a beautiful performer
Long....
effortless this piece is the easier of Listz Lizst
Giusto.
Khatia is simply amazing. All day, every day.🌹
What a Beautiful touch, light delicate, great feeling., how many BRAVA's can I write. BRAVA,BRAVISIMA,BRAVISIMA, BRAVA. Not enough.
Fellow pianist here but while watching her all I can say is She's very very beautiful
When I listen to this music, it's like I'm an instrument and they are touching the strings of my soul.
Ah, superb version. I love the almost glacial start then getting faster bit by bit up to the first cadenza. Then it starts to get❤ brighter during the B major and then explodes with so much colour and finally resolves sweetly and slowly.❤❤
Khatia......bravissima suonare il pianoforte , oltre essere una bella musicista vesti con fascino che aumenta il valore della tua personalità....non trovo altre parole per ammirarti. Un infinito abbraccio Jo Albot
The first time I met Khatia was with this Liebestraum N°3 from F. Liszt. I have always loved how she plays the piano. I miss her. Thank you Khatia.
Where is she gone?
still listening to this interpretation after 2 years.. beautiful
Soft and sweet! Definitely a unique interpretation!
my favorite interpretation of this piece :)
Pure class - flowing and touching our emotions & feelings
Beautiful....very expressive...one of my best pieces
Every note vibrates through her soul. Amazing.
Her interpretation causes me goosebumps! So touching!
She has a great touch❤

I'm entranced by her. And by her playing.

Extraordinary how she starts playing the moment she sits down.
