- Evgeny Kissin playing "La Campanella"
The Royal Albert Hall, London, August 1997
La campanella (meaning "The Little Bell") is the nickname given to the third of six Grandes études de Paganini ("Grand Paganini Etudes"), S. 141 (1851), composed by Franz Liszt. This piece is a revision of an earlier version from 1838, the Études d'exécution transcendente d'après Paganini, S. 140. Its melody comes from the final movement of Niccolò Paganini's Violin Concerto No. 2 in B minor, where the tune was reinforced by a little handbell. - Hudba
Playing la Campanella twice to three times a week is a good cardio excercise and is guaranteed to keep you in good shape
try it
Everytime i finish once (of course its a disaster), i feel like im suffocating and needed to puke...
+723lion Now imagine playing it in front of 10k people and a camera and you have to play it on point. And then wonder why nicki minaj makes 10x more than this man right here for her "music"
Does that mean I'm exercising except i enjoy it?
+Adrian Aghaie Only intelligent people can understand this music.......Nuff said..
It's amazing how two pianists can play the same piece and it sounds completely different
green irish What movement? (I am assuming it's the first)
green irish Oh haha yeah the 3rd is quite difficult.
It's amazing that people can play it at all.
Especially heroic polonaise for that my favourite interpretations are kissin and Natalie shwamova
lawrence wei kissin's heroic polonaise sounds so much folky music type than other pianists whose heroic polonaise sound like just another classic music tats y his heroic polonaise is best for me
3:16 Me typing my history essay the night before it is due
underrated comment
Omg I died laughing
It's my favorite part of the intire piece but you made me laugh sooo bad 😂
Hahahaaa yes
I Can Relate
"Paganini , Liszt, La campanella"
Audience: Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I keep fantasizing about saying those words to someone playing the piano at the local mall. I imagine them to grin and give an Evgeny performance.
Forget about the mistakes, he takes a lot of risks musically and has a much greater articulation than most other pianists. This is phenomenal playing.
mistakes??
@@scottclaudet a small number, insignificant.
@@summushieremiasclarkson4700 could you please point out one?
@@scottclaudet The most obvious one is at 3:25. There are also a few missed notes here and there. Like I said, doesn't really matter. To play like this, is nearly superman like.
(classical) music is NOT about playing every single note accurately - said a musician friend I know. I used to think that playing perfectly was playing every single note accurately, but I have since matured. :p
Legend has it that after the show the piano had sustained considerable water damage; Turns out he actually made the piano cry. He wasn't sweating either, he made his suit cry too. The single hair that fell from his head had fainted from exhaustion, and the sacred sweat that came from his body was collected by professionals and is still for sale as a sacred elixir to boost an aspiring pianist's skill immediately.
Axel Damn, you have a talent. Ever considered a writting career? I am deadly serious.
Uroš Peteh not very sophisticated english
@@MattH9396 Of course, not my mother language.
*where can i find that elixir*
And it needs to be used 40 hours per day.
Just imagine sitting in the audience, surrounded by piano lovers listening to this legendary piece, played by a guy with epic hair; What a fantastic environment.
0:09 *Listen up you fools, I'm about to play some fire"
Liszten
@@gogglegoggles .....
Liszten up you fools, I'm going to set this club on fire
LEGEND!!
👏👏
nice translate bro
I was clapping for him alone in my living room. He is awesome.
Me too. He holds back nothing. Just magnificent.
Weirdo
Go listen to his interpretation of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. Both Barenboim and Lisitsa are absolutely phenomenal, but I have yet to hear a 3rd movement half as brilliant as Evgeny Kissin's take of it.
Me too
@@RockinTheDub chill champ
I love listening to pianists that press keys just hard enough to be heard as loudly as they need to be. He isn’t trying to break strings. Each note is stroked or plucked and can be heard individually. What an absolute genius.
It is indeed very much surprising that the audience is so huge yet there was no disturbances while he was performing, which you never come across these days. The audio is just great and kissin's playing is very much amazing!
Yes indeed🎵He is miracle🎵🎵💐💐🙆❤️
Yea, I was listening to Evgeny playing Fantasie Impromptu on Spotify and you can hear somebody in the crowd constantly coughing, especially during the quiet sunrise notes at the end, which disturbs me everytime >_
its just well recorded
It's the proms, the major concert series in the UK. Half the audience are standing and will have been standing through the entire concert. It's was also the first time a prom had ever featured a solo pianist for the entire concert. It's a legendary performance
@@null8295the sound engineer did well.
I love the way he announces each piece to the audience. Shows respect and engagement
And also very classical. They did it in the 19th century too. Absolute genius of our ages if post-Horowitz generation.
4:02 where 1 strand of hair could no longer bear the magnificence and committed suicide
Lol
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH i spat my screen all over
hahahahahahha. sooo right
you made my day lol
Ludwig Rebeethoven
I am here only to hear him announce the piece.
you should hear him play it too, he doesn't do too bad on this piece.
Yeah I must confess that I love to pronounce Rachmaninov in different ways for the satisfaction.
pAgaNinI, Liszt, La Campanelllla
Straight to the point with his Russian accent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nobody has or ever will play this piece better than this. Absolute perfection. One might almost become religious.
see lang lang he did it a bit better
@@bttstratosphere4927 Now, see, I don't agree. He might bit just a little bit more virtuose, from a purely technical standpoint. But he doesn't even come close when it comes to finesse and musicality.
@@machouchacha what does that even mean
@@machouchacha yeah... I can't explain, but i like this one than Lang Lang.
Its feel magical to me at least.
Valentina also plays it with lots of heart.
I might have listened to this interpretation already about 200 times and I am still amazed like a kid.. this man is such a phenomenon(!) that most other pianists sound like amateurs in comparison..
Самое точное замечание🎉
Liszt had a third hand, it's the only thing that can explain why he composed stuff like this.
Great comment. Just wish they could record things then - and Beethoven and Schumann!
Andrew Pickup
Yeah, my favorite would be Chopin playing his Ballades.
no its just that he could reach 13 notes
moistened eel That's quite true, piano keys were a little thinner back then, as we can see when we look at Chopin's piano. As demonstrated by a lovely woman in a video I watched the other week, she could easily reach 12 notes but claimed she could only reach 9 if she stretched on a modern piano. So whether you were claiming Liszt had big hands or not, this is the real story behind the technical complexity of the piece.
jackcarr45
well, that opened a new perspective
4:18 I can do that part.
Omg, me too!
OMG REALLY! SO CAN IIIII
💀💀
@no u no u Limão
*This music isn't just a composition; it's a divine revelation, a testament to the boundless creativity of the human spirit! 🌟🎵*
Valentina Lisitsa is my favorite pianist of the new age but I have to say, Evgeny’s version of La Campanella is the best. Every chord is layed out clear and crisp and he made it sound so magical. ❤
I gave him standing ovation. 😅
There's a reason Kissen is my favorite pianist. There are good pianists, the best pianists, and then there is Kissen. Bravo!!
Cyrus van Beethoven You are absolutely right! .... and then there is KISSIN !!!!!
Agreed.. 100%
How does Kissin compare to this Kissen of yours?
There seems to be something with the way Russians teach piano... I do think as well Kissin is the best of the best, but I have to say that Daniil Trifonov is getting higher and higher...
and Alexander Malofeev :)
So beautifully and elegantly done. Smooth transitions. Plays not like a professional, but like a genius.
Edit: He doesn't slam on the keys, he pushes them gently, that's what's missing from many pianists.
Kissin is my favorite pianist
That's well said my friend
Kissin is also my favorite pianist, there is no competition...
I also think when you're just smashing the keys, it sounds bad because you are more likely to hit the neighboring keys
This was a great performance but too fast for my liking. 😂
>doesn't slam on the keys
.did you watch the last third of the video
I'm a classical trained violinist and it amazes me how everyone is an expert with pitch and notes yet, I have yet to see or hear of their performances. Having studied with some of the worlds top violinist I have learned that what one hears on a recording might not be exact not due to the performer, but the engineering. Why can't you enjoy the performance and let everyone else enjoy it?
Because every key on the piano corresponds to a note that is always in pitch, unlike on the violin you people actually have to find the pitch yourself.
Considering the fact that this is one of many encores after a full concert is just absolutely phenomenal. ❤
2:40 is how people play street fighter.
hahahahahahahahaha
+HeiShen gotta spam dat shoryuken
+HeiShen god dammit.
+HeiShen Lmfao xD Good one.
+HeiShen Hate to be on the receiving end of that. Napalm Shoryuken from Hades!
I can't believe he managed to pull this off at the end of a concert. I love it, goosebumps. I don't care about the wrong notes, I mean come on!
This is my favourite interpretation of this piece, fast and uncompromising; ferocious
I love how he makes the first half of the song sound so easy, and then the part literally right after he’s sweating buckets and is on the verge of dying lmao
I feel like Liszt was trolling other composers and creating pieces considered impossible to play to show his musicianship, and then we get a Li or Kissin that trolls him back by actually being able to play his pieces
Liszt cheated by having abnormally long fingers.
Daniel Gusev Chopins were even Longer, but Liszts were very strong as well
MagierMondMax
no, chopin's fingers were not unusually long, they were average, perhaps even a bit short
jaelob
Yes you are right. I think I did missunderstand something about Chopin. But I am pretty sure, that his fingers were really thin.
Actually there is more difficult music out there than Liszt. Check out Alkan for example. Liszt wrote some crazy pieces but they are manageable. I can play this at half the tempo (still working on it) and I am just an amateur.
I really enjoy the tempo in which he plays, very precise, accurate, and clean. I admire the time he takes between sections, and the melodic passage with the sopranos at 1:06 through 1:12 Despite all the virtuosic runs and trills he manages to never lose the tempo and keeps fantastic energy and dynamics through the whole piece. Incredible job.
Joe Schmoe ditto
I was once at a music store and i was talking to this dude at the piano, he said he was a teacher and I listened to him play before I talked to him. at the time I was learning piano and said what I was doing was hard at the time, he said no piano pieces are that hard after you master chopin, schubert, and a few other guys I don't remember. I didn't quite believe him so I started listing pieces and he would promptly play short parts of them explaining why they were easy. when I said La Campanella he stopped and said "Now that's a hard piece!" i'll never forgot that story haha.
don't you just love the way he says "la campanella"
his sweat drops are real artsy
Lol
watch boris berezovsky - Liszt Transcendental etudes concert
ThePumpkin506 His sweat drops have more talent than I will ever have...
ThePumpkin506 has
ThePumpkin506 sounds like a Portlandia skit.
완전 미친 연주다. 누군가의 환생이 분명함..
As someone who learn this piece and a fan of Kim Taehyung, IM REALLY HAPPY OMFG. I still like this recording the most.
Taehyung just posted this performance on his insta story 🥲 *happy tears* Kissin is my fav pianist and this has been one of my fav performances for years, so glad that BTS V likes it too 💜💜💜
1 in 5 pianos will be victims of assault in their lifetimes. It's time to stand up to the violence, say no to Liszt pieces.
Nate I don't think so many people play Liszt
This joke is gold...
Purely gold
Perfection
Nate, sorry dude, but if anyone's able and playing Liszt, they are demonic, and I doubt we can do anything to stop them without dying or becoming maimed for life in the process
Bobby Head Liszt Hungarian rhapsody 11 isn't that bad, yet still sounds beautiful, that's the only one I'm playing, and will only play xD
#MeToo
My all-time favorite recording of this piece...I've probably watched/listened to this 30+ times, not exaggerating haha
I love the confidence and cockiness in the way he announces his piece in the beginning.
Anyone would be that confident if they could play like that
This rendition is pure genius of interpretation as well as sheer performance. BRAVO !!!
3:16 to 3:30 its just madness, just mindblown
I've found 3:16 to 3:24 surprisingly easy after some practice, but 3:24 to 3:30 is indeed one of the hardest parts (those chords...)
3:16 to 3:20 is comfortable through the practice. Though it may not be listenable, 1:25 to 1:40 is actually one of the hardest parts in the song since the right hand has to reach with the first and second fingers then jump an octave higher using the fifth finger. Very hard to play clear and to listen to the top notes, given the speed that Kissin plays it at.
+Malvyn Lai When I used to play this song 1:25-1:40 was always the part I hated doing
I have big hands, it's no trouble for me. The part I "like the least" is 1:39-1:54.
So we have a consensus then. It's so hard these days
This is my favorite performance of this piece, by far. Mostly because it has something many other interpretations lack; patience. Played extremely fluid and precise (Yeah there was a little slip up in there. Who cares, it's an extremely difficult piece to master, let alone perform). Very beautiful performance, great tempos and dynamics! Love it.
This pianist plays this song almost like ive never heard it before. So fluid and seemingly effortless.
It's a piece.
@@akshitsharma8475 who cares
@@poiuuiopl9623 me.
@@akshitsharma8475 but do you think he cares
@@poiuuiopl9623 I think he don't, but he need to understand when there are no lyrics, they're called pieces not songs.
what i really love about kissin is that he always goes all in. never plays it safe. i dont care about a few mistakes here and there - the energy and fire that comes from this risky approach is just second to none. this is how that piece should be played. theres probably not too many pianists that are able to pull it off with that spirit, but even fewer who would be willing to take the risks involved when playing it like that but would rather hide behind the occasional security-rubato every now and then (or, if youre lang lang, all the f-ing time).
and as extra bonus: play it like that at the END of a concert as an encore. oh my :-)
One of the most accomplished pianists the modern era playing one of the most technically difficult pieces of modern piano repertoire. Amazing.
So uhm, he's moving so fast some keys look like they're being pressed by themselves cuz he's already moved on before they've risen back up xD insane!
you made my day with that comment. lololol
I noticed that too! They look like they're sticking!
The sound it's just delayed
Visual reinforcement
Many virtuosos have this effect. It’s. a visual effect
One of the only modern pianist that have truly understand how to play this music. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
It's probably the best performance of this dazzling piece I have ever heard. The amount of energy he must have marshaled to hold such virtuosity scrambles my mind.
the best version ever...
And not only on that one!!! He's my favorite on Chopins Etude 1 op.10 also.... out of dozens! HE IS THE BEST!!!
Yundi Li? Maybe?
Ashley Hua Yundi Li, certainly

Guys,this man makes me feel good,he plays piano like no other. Simply the best i've ever heard. An angel of music.
& he was 16 yrs old in this vid
@@garudagal23 he was 26 not 16 😂
音が精密で力強く、張りがあり美しい。また、難しいフレーズでも妥協なく歌い続け、メロディーがクリアであり、スッキリ聞かせてくれる。どのピアニストのラカンパネラより、しっくりくる。
An absolute genius, regarded as one of the finest pianists in the world and would you believe he’s not entered a single competition in his life (apart from one in his school days which he didn’t practice properly for, and still won).
Many people say he plays it too fast... I say he plays it with precisely the correct amount of urgency the "Little Bell" requires.
Imagine the feeling of having to scratch yourself halfway while playing this.
He could easily defeat thanos
Wow amazing pianist. 👌👍👏 Now I understand why Kim Taehyung - V - BTS says this is his favorite video. Really good video! 😊👏👍👌
He was teasing blackpink's comeback
Of the 1.198 million views I can't even remember how many of them are mine! And every time I watch this thing I am blown away. Amazing.
OleWetDog I've at LEAST 600,000 :)
Best version I've ever heard.
His fingers are invisibly sweeping like the wings of humming bird. The clarity of each note lives at the speed. One of greatest pianists!
I cannot count the amount of times I listened to this performance, such vivid in detail and so precise, Was a great help in the making of my own recording of this piece. Thanks for uploading this video. Dawid
Pianista espetacular. Esteve no Brasil em 1996, no Teatro Municipal de São Paulo. Uma noite memorável. Bravo, Kissin !!
One of my favorite piece, composed by Liszt in 1851. La campanella, deeply interpreted by Evgeny Kissin. Bravo!
Its composed by Paganini actually. Liszt transcribed it to piano, thats all
No doubt that this is the best performance ever heard of this piece.
Ngl it's not.
listen to lang lang's interpretation
@@ajz3653 that's the worst one. Lang Lang is a clown and a terrible musician. His technique is good but his musicianship is beyond horrible. He should stop playing, as he is an insult to all the great composers.
@@oiuyuioiuyuio I disagree, I think he plays with lots of emotions and has his own interpretation of the music. I personally like it as a musician. But to each their own
@@oiuyuioiuyuio do you *really have* to insult other people just to bring one up?
3:06 even his sweat is in harmony with the piece
This is the best comment i’ve seen in my entire life 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Because his head is moving like that.
4:2 쯤에 머리카락도 떨어지네..열정적으로 치는모습 멋지다. 지금까지 들은 라캄파넬라중 최고
Wish I could just flap my hands over the keyboard like Evgeny does - and for all the right notes to come out!
これ程音色が多彩なラ・カンパネラは聴いた事がない。やはり素晴らしい。
Oh my goodness… that is simply unreachable! Brilliant!!!!!
Extraordinaire interprétation.Merci Evgeny
Kissin is one of the most elegant pianists around!
La Campenella: The original "Hold my beer"
almost forgot to listen to this today
I've heard this piece before but I couldn't bring myself to like it. But this interpretation makes me love it !!
I really like how he takes the time to play expressively and with clarity. He doesn't overly rush the piece.(even though how strange that may sound)
By far the best performance of La Campanella on CZcams.
yundi li plays it way more beautiful imo
3 million views! Still my favorite pianist and best interpretation of this masterpiece!
Repertido muchas veces, excelente ! Mi preferido de Paganini ❤❤❤❤❤
Phenomenal performance of a beautiful, but brutally difficult piece. Bravo!
amazing, emotional and powerful. The best La Campanella ever played in modern history.
Not really emotional but definitely amazing. He interpreted this piece in a very clean, clear manner, like a fountain. He didn't incorporate much emotion in it which is just amazing. I think this is the best interpretation so far because of clearness and the rhythm of it. But what do I know.... Many pianists put much more emotion into it but I simply prefer this piece.
There’s one by rousseau
Biased Bucks Fan Rousseau is not in the same league as elite pianists, not even close. You can see it from his La Campanella. He doesnt have the virtuosity required to play it.
@@neuralink7018 that "rousseay" guy is a total nobody who doesn't even qualify as amateur pianist. Good heavens, so many dumb kids here. How can you possibly compare one of the greatest pianists of the XXth century like Kissin to that total talentless loser.
@@oiuyuioiuyuio You’re obviously joking but to be able to play Hungarian rhapsody no 2 and not qualify as an amateur pianists is astounding to me
Thank you for posting this. Anyone who is this good at something is always going to be appreciated.
Still one of the very best live perfomances ever, leaves me in awe everytimei watch it...
I ALWAYS come back to this.
4:17 those couple of seconds between playing and applause when he stares at the piano are immense.
Words cannot describe how spectacular this performance is.
EZ CSODÁS! A legjobb előadás, amit eddig hallottam.
Perfection!!!I watched this video so many times that the single hair floating with the music is already a trivial thing.
Absolutely phenomenal
What sick pleasure did Liszt get while composing this !! definitely a music maniac !
love how he plays so lightly and effortlessly, fantastic performance!
I was moved to tears by this! Standing ovations
Ok, as for everyone saying this "sucks" or "isn't that great" you have to consider the fact that this was at the end of a LONG concert that includes very many virtuosic pieces. He's probably tired physically and emotionally. To be honest, even though it's not my favorite interpretation (Yundi FTW), it's still very applicable.
People who say that are just retarded lol
This was the third piece. Don't get me wrong this is my favourite version
I cant listen to this recording because of the wrong note at 1:07. Its too out of place it ruins it.
I can not find words for this. Thank you Maestro!
Dude no other interpretation of this piece on yt has as much rythmic accuracy and articulation. Probably the best one yet.
It's a video which made me step into a classical music. Needless to say, It's a legend performance undoubtedly in music history.
великолепная мелодия, отличное исполнение!!!
Мелодия то великолепная... а вот исполнение как то не очень... на мой взгляд, четыре раза мимо клавиш на четыре минуты музыки это как то слишком, перебор как мне кажется...
@@SWEETLANA77
Это лучшее исполнение Кампанеллы которое я слышал, о чём ты
I absolutely love how when evgeny announces that he will be playing la campanella, the entire crowd gasps in amazement and excitement because they already know how crazy difficult the piece is.
I came here because I saw Taehyung's post and I liked it
brings me tears this genius
Dear Evgeny; You not only slew this old dragon (La Campenella), you slew the entire audience. Breath taking!!!! This may very well be the finest recording of this master work ever performed. Congratulations young Titan. You did it baby. CVD
is someone in 2020 here ???¿¿
yes! This version is the best!
Surviving the virus listening to the best piano players ever. This is certainly at the top.
2021!
Stunning musicianship and virtuosity. Off the charts skill....
