En tant que compositeur, il est avant tout associé au piano. Il a écrit 1200 pièces (de quoi remplir environ 200 CD). Sa musique est d’une originalité saisissante dans sa conception, son harmonie et son contenu. Ses innovations lui permirent d’exprimer à la fois ses pensées profondes et son côté plus flamboyant étaient une avancée significative sur ce qui s’était passé auparavant. Tous les compositeurs pour le piano furent ensuite redevables à Liszt. Liszt inventa le récital pour piano seul. Les programmes étaient jusque-là partagés entre artistes ; il fut le premier à jouer de profil pour le public ; il rendit le piano séduisant, et ceux qui lui succédèrent, prenant Liszt pour modèle, se virent accorder un statut de pop star actuel. Le Liebesträum n°3 est l’une des plus connues de toutes les pièces pour piano, un nocturne avec une section médiane passionnée qui, comme les deux autres virent le jour sous la forme de lied. Les nocturnes de Liszt sont d’une grande beauté. Les six consolations, inspirées par la poésie de Charles Sainte-Beuve, rappellent la tendre atmosphère des Nocturnes. La très aimée numéro 3 en ré bémol majeur est la plus célèbre des six. Cette selection a pour but de faire découvrir une nouvelle facette de la musique de Liszt pour les auditeurs moins avertis. En effet, même les moins amateurs de la musique de Liszt apprécient ses pièces qui peuvent être savourées en tout temps et particulièrement un soir devant un feu de cheminée ou en contemplant la lune et les étoiles. Le phrasé éloquent, expressif, un rubato sans affectation et l’une des palettes sonores les plus belles de tout pianiste sont les traits caractéristiques du jeu de Jorge Bolet qui rend honneur à ces pièces d’une grande beauté. Parmi les oeuvres de Liszt baptisées « études », les plus connues sont peut-être les deux études de concert Waldesrauschen (murmures de la forêt) et Gnomenreigen (danse des gnomes). Les études demandent une virtuosité extraordinaire mais aussi beaucoup de délicatesse et de tendresse. Deux éléments qui ne sont pas toujours facile à marier. Le chant (la ligne mélodique la plus aigu) de ces études est d’une grande poésie. « La campanella » utilise le thème du dernier mouvement du concerto pour violon n°2 en si mineur de Paganini pour quelques acrobaties pianistiques traîtreusement difficiles. Le « Grand Galop chromatique » est une oeuvre que Liszt utilisait lui-même pour conclure ses récitals. C’est une pièce difficile, avec un ingénieux trait chromatique en guise de motif, et reste avant tout un divertissement. « Benediction de Dieu dans la solitude » est un chef-d’oeuvre tour à tour mystique et extatique. C’est un monde symphonique. Elle est l’une des oeuvres de Liszt qui nous emmène le plus loin en matière d’introspection. Liszt - Six Consolations S.172, Consolation No.3, St.François ..

Bolet was peerless in his Liszt performances. He left the flashy pyrotechnics to lesser performers (although his technique was sublime). He was a model of taste, discretion and subtlety.
Classical music isn't exclusive to professional musicians or music aficionados; it's for everyone. It can create a state of mind, stimulate creativity, and infuse beauty and art into our daily lives.
Bolet is wonderful in the music of Liszt. He brings out the beauty in the music of liszt. One of my favorite performers of Liszt along with Richter, Arrau and Berman.
The very 1st time I ever listened to Liszt ,I was 7 in my music class in Tokyo. I knew he was IT ! THE ONE ! Without Liszt ,there wouldn't had been the music we know today ( well music has died now ! Thanx to the industry ! And poor music education in the U.S. ! ) .Although Liszt wouldn't had been Liszt w/ o Beethoven, Liszt made music larer than life ! The best pianist / composer all time to this day & that won't change forever ! His music is truly BREATHTAKING & his influences & contributions to our lives & music world are something not measurable . Now I am 54 ,but I still listen to Liszt w/ almost the same sensation that he gave me when I was only 7 ! Only my admirations & respects for his talents & works have grown more ! 💜💜💜💜🎹🎹🎹🥁🐉🎵🎤🎶💖💖💖💕💞
The wild bird, who's been roosting in my heater box on my roof since last December, loves Liszt. I'm retired, and this bird and I have been listening to music, full time, for 6 months now. Sounds crazy, I know. But, I've recorded it's tweets on a voice recorder, just to prove to myself that I wasn't nuts. The bird answered these recorded tweets with a tenative tweet....3 times and then it stopped answering. It has a basic 'one note' tweet that it modifies to express pleasure, displeasure, excitement, and with the use of what I call an "insta-tweet", it can communicate with me. The bird's hearing is superior to mine. It can hear anything that I can hear in the room. In the morning, It wants me to get up and play music, and to communicate that, it insta-tweets at my yawns, or even a deep breath. When I'm at my computer, and there is no music playing, it will whip out it's insta-tweet when I'm typing to call attention that there's no music playing. Sometimes, it tries to insta-tweet my pool shot, and can actually tweet when my cue strikes the cue ball, once in a while. It listens to my clicking noises of my keyboard and mouse, and often can tell if I'm about to play music from You Tube. The tweet will the a hopeful tweet. And then, when a tune begins, it will tweet that seems to say, "Ah, music at last ! " It tweets when Liszt beautifully resolves the themes of these tunes towards the end of each number. It's a gas to listen to music with a bird. You'll never guess what kind of music this bird loves the most.
I've never seen the bird. The bird has the safest place in the neighborhood. It stays in that box from before I wake in the morning, until after I go to bed at night. It must hunt at night. It's reflexes are so quick, almost instantaneous, and hearing so good, that I figure it hunts with it's ears. It can hear it's prey, which again, I surmise to be flying insects, based on the fact that it's a very small bird, I know because the entrance to the heater box is really small, and it's hearing so good, with the super quick reflexes. When I work in the garden, I can hear it tweet from the box, but It refuses to come out. Why should it? It's got perfect safety, and a trained human to play the music. I heard a tweet at the garden center, that was the same tweet as the bird in my heater, and asked the check lady about the bird that just tweeted and her answer was, "We have all kinds of birds in this place" I told her, "They like music." That kind of statement is a conversation stopper. You see, people think birds are equally stupid, and anything to the contrary: Nuts. I don't blame them for thinking that. My circumstances resemble some kind of animal behavioral experiment with a sensory deprivation box (the heater), and a captive bird, except this bird is a volunteer. The moral question is, is this bird addicted to music? Anyhow, I would have to have sophisticated equipment, with motion sensors, low light capability, to catch a glimpse of this bird when it leaves the box at night. I have it's tweets recorded, and that's all the evidence I have. If you have a safe email address, maybe I can send that recording to you.
I was thinking St. Francis of Assissi who had a few bird buddies, or St. Gall, the patron Saint of birds. If I have something in common with St. Gregory III, I would say it was gratitude towards Charles Martel for vanquishing foreign invaders in what is known today as Italy and France. But, probably you know more about him than I do. I think I'd make a splendid Pope, not so much a Saint due to my many flaws. But Pope? I'd have to raise an army to take back Cyprus from the Turks. And then on to Constantinople (Istanbul) to free the city from the Turks. And then on to Londonstan....well, a Pope's work is never done.
mu99ins you’re knowledge clearly exceeds mine. It was quite educational in fact! Regardless of whom we decide on, one fact we can agree on: both you and the bird have wonderful taste in music! :-)
Jorge Bolet is apre-eminent performer of Liszt's piano works. Bolet brings such precision, yet sensitivity to these works, it's almost indescribable; listening to these masterpieces is entirely relaxing and enjoyable. I have hazarded to play a few Liszt pieces and people have told me that they like my renditions. I live on in the hope of being able to perform more of Liszt's pieces; there's such a great satisfaction it gives me.
I'm in musical academia, in which world Liszt is a vastly underrated composer, misrepresented by his flashiest pieces. He was one of the best and most influential of 19th-c. composers.
Quite easily. He was harmonically innovative, technically peerless (sorry Alkan and Chopin), the inheritor of the great line of tutorship going back to Haydn via Beethoven and Czerny, as well as the greatest late-Romantic composer and harbinger of the impressionist era. I love Liszt.
Película Una Llama Mágica ,interpreto en vivo Jorge Bolet su biografía con el piano 🤣 con exelencia. 🏆🥇🎼🎶🎶🎶La biografía de Lizst , la tengo en disco de acetato .El disco se llama como la película Una Llama Mágica. para los que no estuvieron ese año. ✔️🇮🇷😍.
J’ai entendu J Bolet en récital au TCE à Paris vers la fin de sa vie dans les années 1990 et j’en garde un souvenir ému. Ses enregistrements de transcriptions de Schubert par Liszt sont superbes.Ici il nous livre un héritage de son introspection dans des pièces maîtresses du maître hongrois.
You might like to compare to another limited recording of Liebestraume 3 he did for Baldwin Piano Company that has some subtle variations in tone and feeling from this Decca version. czcams.com/video/qgm_54QzvYg/video.html.
oh, the touch was very sensitive, I love his Un Sospiro. I used to play it some 10 years ago. Now, I am picking it up again after listening to this. Exquisite performance.
I believe Bolet recorded these pieces on a Bechstein EN-280 piano. i do recall that Bechstein got Bolet's interest when they brought out that model in the mid 1970's, and he used them of several of his Decca releases in that time. This could be one of them.
Sou fã deste senhor intérprete.Cubano.Eu acho um dos melhores concertista deste maravilhoso instrumento. Bolet-Jorge. Toque-interpretação - tempo. Emocional. Dramático. Cheio de vida. Sem dúvida. Pianista do 1 escalão.
Beautiful playing and artistic expression - so dreamy and transcendental - just what I need while on holiday (as at the moment) or whenever I have the time to meditate or need to just chill out - perfect!
Wow! This performance of La Campanella is very good! I have liked this, but this is way beyond what I have heard before! (I didn't know it's name before.) It's like a butterfly flitting around! It is so delicate! I felt it necessary to listen it many times! I wanted to hear it again and again! Wow!
I agree, it's one of the very finest performances I have heard as well. If you haven't heard it, I would also suggest Yundi Li's performance, his control and understanding of the work are extraordinary, pretty much on par(if not a hair better) with this in my opinion. And only because you mentioned "butterfly," I might suggest Schmetterling, or Butterfly by Edvard Grieg, it's quite a little piano piece itself, very reminiscent of a flittering butterfly gliding about. Oh, and I believe Chopin wrote a "butterfly" piece as well, I think it's an etude, very nice.
Hoch kultivierte Interpretation dieser romantischen Meisterwerke im lyrischen Tempo mit anmutigem Klang und sorgfältig kontrollierter Dynamik. Echt unvergleichlicher Pianist!
I had heard some record or cassette with Jorge Bolet from a friend years ago and forgotten about him. My friend was a very good piano player, and new the performers that were especially good!
Thank you for this fantastic release! Bolet was together with Horowitz and Arrau the last of the legendary romantic pianists. (Rubinstein is also of this line) His interpretation of Liszt is unequaled except by those peers. (Not Rubinstein who played very little Liszt)
Epic post! I have it all on CD, most pieces twice or even thrice, but it's great to see Jorge getting more attention on YT. The years of recording are mostly 1978, 1982 and 1985 (only the Bénédiction is from 1983), but no matter.
Bolet era, en mi opinión, la definición del virtuoso nato en las últimas décadas. El mismo decía que no solía practicar nunca; aunque nunca tuvo la difusión ni carisma de Rubinstein o Horowitz, tenía capacidad técnica para tocar igualmente a Chopin, a Liszt o a Godowsky. Su legendario recital en el Carnegie Hall es indispensable para todo aquel amante del piano.
Very fine interpretations. His La Campanella is the right pace, everybody always plays it so fast that it loses any meaning to its melodic content, at this pace it is a good piece.
I don't know if this is just me, but I the first and second consolation really feels like one piece. Whenever I listen to the first consolation on its own, it feels like I'm hearing the opening or the introduction of a piece; whenever I come back to this recording my subconscious always associates the first two consolations as one whole
If you look at a score, you will see that Liszt definitely intended the first Consolation to flow directly into the second (slightly faster) one. And as others have noted, the sequnce of six pieces make up an entire miniature cycle. Listen to the recordings by Andrea Bonatta and France Clidat, both of whom really understood this.
I have long been an admirer of Jorge Bolet. His Liszt, Rachmaninoff - always so pure and perfect and in contrast to the pulling around of some popular pianists. There are performances on here that I have not heard before. It's a treasure trove of beautiful music, beautifully played. A Joe Spencer below said "The beautiful side of Liszt" - sadly, for so many people, their idea of Liszt is pianistic pyrotecnics. (If he hadn't written those show pieces, his general reputation would be much, much higher). Take away those brash Hungarian Rhapsodies and all the rest is the beautiful side - even to the late pieces like Nuages Gris.
ATT: Classical Music /Reference Recording; I just called one of your sponsors and protested their commercial interrupting Liszt's "Un Sospiro" If you're going to teach or promote great music ,please show respect for it by confining the commercials to space between the pieces rather than thrusting them into the middle of the piece.
"Waldesrauchen" really out to be "Wald brüllt" -- but that has to do with the way Liszt wrote the etude, not the way Bolet played it! (I love Waldesrauchen, and I especially love the way Bolet plays it -- but the forest really does reach a full "roar"!)
Although Liszt is known largely for his virtuosic bravura works, he composed some of the most religiously introspective pieces ever written. Among these my favorite is the work Consolations. Liszt composed them either in E Major or Db Major. Keys of consolation! Although Bolet is one of the greatest interpreters of Liszt, he does not excel with this opus in my opinion. An amazing interpretation of the Consolations is Sergio Fiorentino: czcams.com/video/kyZa7KKLBCo/video.html.
Kieran Black I’m truly impressed by Fiorentino’s interpretations. One of my favorites is his recording of Chopin’s Preludes. I play this opus but after listening to Fiorentino, I realized how important it is to find what it is you want to communicate with the music. Fiorentino really connects with the listener.
Liszts best known work. all substance over style. perfect piece only Liszt could have written. Still not in the class of Mozart Beethoven Schubert or Schumann and Brahms. Popular music but it had real beauty and pathos to give it a very good grade.
Not in the other's class !!!? Liszt was the very best & still is ! Liszt even helped others to be better pianists & composers ,that includes his bestfriends Chopin & Wagner & so many others were so influenced by Liszt ,countless !!!

Los Pepinos same here actually. He still remains my favourite after everything. Even more so than chopin dare I say, or even beethoven. The sad thing is that though he’s known as quite possibly the greatest pianist of all time, and is fairly well known, most people are only aware of his incredibly difficult, ‘showy’ pieces, but not of the gentle or emotional side to his music, which makes up quite a lot of it. So many people just dismiss him as being a technical pianist / composer and nothing more, but that is simply completely false, as you know I’m sure.

I too have tended to think of Liszt in terms of big, showy pieces. Listening to Bolet in these marvelous compositions is a cure for that.
Spot on! Intelligent comment.

Lar M I've seen that movie in one of the Hong Kong Films Festival before, and the only reason I love that movie , is because of Bolet playing .
Jorge bolet라는 피아니스트를 알게 되어서 너무 좋습니다. 이분이야말로 리스트 전문피아노연주자입니다
Bolet and Liszt are a musical heaven. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for posting this sublime record. Thank you with all my heart.

Absolutely 🤗💕
Sometimes I listen to music and l imagine beautiful things, so i am very happy and changing into my life everything .
Wonderful Wonderful
Jorge Bolet ,la exelencia para interpretar Lizst. 😘🥇🙏🏆🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶🔥
So beautiful, its breathtaking. If I could go back in time and meet Franz Liszt, I would.
Genio inmortal que nos permites con tu genialidad musical transportarnos al Cielo , alejándonos un poco de esta expiral terrenal.
A wonderful performance and a wonderful piano sound. How can you not like it?
des oeuvres de Liszt trop rarement diffusées sur les ondes Hertziennes
I believe Bolet recorded these pieces on a Bechstein EN-280 piano. i do recall that Bechstein got Bolet's interest when they brought out that model in the mid 1970's, and he used them of several of his Decca releases in that time. This could be one of them.
Jorge Bolet is a great romantic. He is specialist in Lizst and also in Rachmaninoff.
Bolet is a pride of cubans.
I try to start my day with this beautiful music. Sets my mood !!
Sou fã deste senhor intérprete.Cubano.Eu acho um dos melhores concertista deste maravilhoso instrumento. Bolet-Jorge. Toque-interpretação - tempo. Emocional. Dramático. Cheio de vida. Sem dúvida. Pianista do 1 escalão.
Jorge Bolet is the pianist who did the dub for the 1960 Movie Songs Without End , a movie about the romance story of Franz Liszt.
Beautiful playing and artistic expression - so dreamy and transcendental - just what I need while on holiday (as at the moment) or whenever I have the time to meditate or need to just chill out - perfect!

Wow! This performance of La Campanella is very good! I have liked this, but this is way beyond what I have heard before! (I didn't know it's name before.) It's like a butterfly flitting around! It is so delicate! I felt it necessary to listen it many times! I wanted to hear it again and again! Wow!
I agree, it's one of the very finest performances I have heard as well. If you haven't heard it, I would also suggest Yundi Li's performance, his control and understanding of the work are extraordinary, pretty much on par(if not a hair better) with this in my opinion.
And only because you mentioned "butterfly," I might suggest Schmetterling, or Butterfly by Edvard Grieg, it's quite a little piano piece itself, very reminiscent of a flittering butterfly gliding about.
Oh, and I believe Chopin wrote a "butterfly" piece as well, I think it's an etude, very nice.
Bollett left a lot of works out of Decca, but the list is particularly wonderful, and this song is one of excellence
Es increíble 😍 este programa. 🇲🇽. 🎶🎵. Jorje Bolet. 🇲🇽
Hoch kultivierte Interpretation dieser romantischen Meisterwerke im lyrischen Tempo mit anmutigem Klang und sorgfältig kontrollierter Dynamik. Echt unvergleichlicher Pianist!
Eine der letzten großen romantischen Pianisten.
Nur Horowitz und Arrau vergleichbar.
Der gigantischen Repertoire von Arrau war aber unerreichbar.
@@robertoa.m.3984 Stimmt. Ganz undenkbare Interpretation im 21. Jahrhundert.
The incomparable Liszt, is the greatest not one of the greatest !
I had heard some record or cassette with Jorge Bolet from a friend years ago and forgotten about him. My friend was a very good piano player, and new the performers that were especially good!
This is the divine playing of Liszt. Memorising, a rare gem. Thank you so much.
This is really splendid playing. Bolet strikes the perfect tone. Thank you for sharing these.
Still play this every day or night. I love this music.
아름다운 피아노 연주곡 잘 들었읍니다~감사합니다~🎵🎹🌿🍀☘🌹🌹☘🍀🌿❤❤
Thank you for this fantastic release!
Bolet was together with Horowitz and Arrau the last of the legendary romantic pianists.
(Rubinstein is also of this line)
His interpretation of Liszt is unequaled except by those peers. (Not Rubinstein who played very little Liszt)
Epic post! I have it all on CD, most pieces twice or even thrice, but it's great to see Jorge getting more attention on YT. The years of recording are mostly 1978, 1982 and 1985 (only the Bénédiction is from 1983), but no matter.
en un mundo ideal este canal tendría millones de seguidores
Incredible performance! Much love from Georgia🇬🇪!
Vielen Dank für diese wundervolle Lisztian-Anthologie, die so gut wie möglich gespielt wird.
¡¡¡¡ que gusto tan exquisito!!!!
What a beautiful hour and a half! Thank you!
3 years later: His performance is absolutely stunning and deeply moving!
Gracias. por el. disco. Buenas noches.
Exceptional! Thank you!
Tão lindo... tão sublime!
Bolet era, en mi opinión, la definición del virtuoso nato en las últimas décadas. El mismo decía que no solía practicar nunca; aunque nunca tuvo la difusión ni carisma de Rubinstein o Horowitz, tenía capacidad técnica para tocar igualmente a Chopin, a Liszt o a Godowsky. Su legendario recital en el Carnegie Hall es indispensable para todo aquel amante del piano.
Which year was the recital?
Searching for music of Liszt I came across this fantastic recording,what a marvellous pianist Jorge Bolet is. Thankyou !!!!!
You're welcome Frans
Thanks
Very fine interpretations. His La Campanella is the right pace, everybody always plays it so fast that it loses any meaning to its melodic content, at this pace it is a good piece.
I don't know if this is just me, but I the first and second consolation really feels like one piece. Whenever I listen to the first consolation on its own, it feels like I'm hearing the opening or the introduction of a piece; whenever I come back to this recording my subconscious always associates the first two consolations as one whole
All the consolations are one piece
@@sedargames8161 the segments are one piece thank you.
If you look at a score, you will see that Liszt definitely intended the first Consolation to flow directly into the second (slightly faster) one. And as others have noted, the sequnce of six pieces make up an entire miniature cycle. Listen to the recordings by Andrea Bonatta and France Clidat, both of whom really understood this.
It's really beautiful music. Thank you for sharing :)
Hermoso,maravilloso...❤
Sensational....BRAVO from San Agustinillo, Oaxaca !
Es mi gran amor. Liszt. Y Bolet es el. que nació para. Franz. .
I have learned so much from this channel. Thank you.
Still loving to listen to this !!
Dear CLASSICAL MUSIC as always you deserve a BIG LIKE.
Also I appreciate the small introduction notes.
Greetings from Ciudad de México.
Marvelous recording. Thx for sharing. I appreciate it, so does the world
:-)
SO Beaitiful.....LIszt is the best and so is this piano player the perfect one to play Listz's written music. I can listen to this for hours.

Liszt Liebestraume: Beautiful Music to Begin the New Day ✨🙏✨🩰🎶🎶🩰✨@ Classical Music/Reference _8:30am ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great ！
Unimpeachable performance ！
I have long been an admirer of Jorge Bolet. His Liszt, Rachmaninoff - always so pure and perfect and in contrast to the pulling around of some popular pianists. There are performances on here that I have not heard before. It's a treasure trove of beautiful music, beautifully played. A Joe Spencer below said "The beautiful side of Liszt" - sadly, for so many people, their idea of Liszt is pianistic pyrotecnics. (If he hadn't written those show pieces, his general reputation would be much, much higher). Take away those brash Hungarian Rhapsodies and all the rest is the beautiful side - even to the late pieces like Nuages Gris.
This is a very nice Liszt set... Thank you!!
Oh, this man!!
Es el pianista que le dió vida a Lizst. , ,en su película biografía a Lizst con el piano 🎹🥇 en vivo. 🏆
Quelle magnifique interprétation . Un grand merci !
This is wonderful...thank you
Dear Mr Bolet. Wondertul Campanella, Thank you CM.
❣ merci ❣
Liebestraume 2 reminds me a lot of the climax of Hungarian Rhapsody 5.
Jorje Bolet. La EXELENCIA para Chopin.
La exelencia para Lizst. 🇮🇷❤️👑
조회수가 너무 적다... 명반인데....
Questo set di Bolet circola da molti anni: vuol dire che i pianisti di oggi non sanno interpretare o non hanno la tecnica adatta per suonare Listz
ATT: Classical Music /Reference Recording; I just called one of your sponsors and protested their commercial interrupting Liszt's "Un Sospiro" If you're going to teach or promote great music ,please show respect for it by confining the commercials to space between the pieces rather than thrusting them into the middle of the piece.
Esta consolasion. Es mi favorita 😍.
DIVINE
"Waldesrauchen" really out to be "Wald brüllt" -- but that has to do with the way Liszt wrote the etude, not the way Bolet played it! (I love Waldesrauchen, and I especially love the way Bolet plays it -- but the forest really does reach a full "roar"!)
Although Liszt is known largely for his virtuosic bravura works, he composed some of the most religiously introspective pieces ever written. Among these my favorite is the work Consolations. Liszt composed them either in E Major or Db Major. Keys of consolation! Although Bolet is one of the greatest interpreters of Liszt, he does not excel with this opus in my opinion. An amazing interpretation of the Consolations is Sergio Fiorentino: czcams.com/video/kyZa7KKLBCo/video.html.
Indeed, magnificent. Thank you I did not know :-)
teddy toto that recording is pure magic
Kieran Black I’m truly impressed by Fiorentino’s interpretations. One of my favorites is his recording of Chopin’s Preludes. I play this opus but after listening to Fiorentino, I realized how important it is to find what it is you want to communicate with the music. Fiorentino really connects with the listener.
Fiorentino does not excel in the "Consolations", in my opinion.
Consolation no.3 is my most favourite of Liszt's for my life !👍💜💜💜🎹🥁🐉🎵🎤🎶💞
폭풍전야의 느낌!
Liszts best known work. all substance over style. perfect piece only Liszt could have written. Still not in the class of Mozart Beethoven Schubert or Schumann and Brahms. Popular music but it had real beauty and pathos to give it a very good grade.
Not in the other's class !!!? Liszt was the very best & still is ! Liszt even helped others to be better pianists & composers ,that includes his bestfriends Chopin & Wagner & so many others were so influenced by Liszt ,countless !!!
Oh please
I use to dislike Liszt's music, but I must say that these are very sensitive and liric pieces.
PROVING ONCE AGAIN THAT THOSE THAT SAY THEY DON'T LIKE LISZT, DON'T KNOW LISZT !!!

One of my favorite works of Liszt is his third mephisto waltz ...
Liszt, for me, was in fact the beautiful, tender and playful pathway to classical music. Great you came to like him.
Los Pepinos same here actually. He still remains my favourite after everything. Even more so than chopin dare I say, or even beethoven. The sad thing is that though he’s known as quite possibly the greatest pianist of all time, and is fairly well known, most people are only aware of his incredibly difficult, ‘showy’ pieces, but not of the gentle or emotional side to his music, which makes up quite a lot of it. So many people just dismiss him as being a technical pianist / composer and nothing more, but that is simply completely false, as you know I’m sure.
perfect after lecture downtime music *naps*
Is it just me listening Jorge Bolet played the music behind me?
Anyone know where I can get the sheet music for Jorge's changes to Liebestraume no 3? It sounds great.
And even in his old pictures.
Increíble 😰
Jorje Bolet.
