I don’t know, Liszt was such a gem in so many ways. Perhaps his version needs some more public exposure ! Awesome video Cole. I have no idea how you manage to release these videos weekly. So much work - research, analysis, script, practice and performance. I really hope patreon is helping sustain you
Great video and performance!! So interesting with added octaves on the big jumps for acccuracy. Working on this now, will definitely try it out. Also the LH jumps at 26:40 is a nightmare!
Absolutely enthralling - a totally dazzling performance of unbridled virtuosity. Reading all the other comments already posted, there is little else that can be added. Your introductory comments, Cole, were fascinating and add immensely to the enormous enjoyment afforded by this recording. Being able to follow the score at the same time as watching your hands fly over the keyboard is a thrill a standard concert goer sitting far back from the stage would be denied . . . so your excellent videography also merits the highest possible praise. One thing is for certain, a single viewing is insufficient and so I concur with 'c z': many more viewings are essential (no matter how indulgent!).
Bravo!! The ending is like Mario jumping at the flagpole to victory! These pieces came to mind while listening: Liszt's Les Preludes, the central section of Schubert's Impromptu op. 90 no. 4, Schumann's Carnaval...btw I think the G @31:12 is right.
Thanks! Yes the G is a matter for some argument. Most editions change it, although in the most recent Barenreiter Urtext the editors think it is right as it provides the root of the G dominant chord. To me it doesn’t sound quite right....
Thank you for the presentation and performance! Wow, what a technically difficult piece it is, but you play it flawlessly! In my book, you are virtuoso no less than Kissin! For me, some parts of 2nd mvmt sounded a little like Erlkönig - no surprise there:-) The G sounds like it belongs there, though it may not have been the best choice (I hope it doesn't sound rude.) Schubert was one of the favorite Horowitz's composers later in his life.
Thank you! Very glad you liked it. Yes, I go back and forth about the G-in this recording I change it to an F of course, but maybe next time I will do it the other way. Anyway, thank you so much for watching and for your kind comments. (and Horowitz did wax poetic about Schubert. Love his recording of the Ständchen!)

Fantastic performance of this assault course !
Liszt changing the octaves into triplets to make it possible to keep them in tempo is absolutely genius! Sounds so much better that way.
Yes, the Liszt version has all kinds of interesting ideas in there!
What an amazing performance and presentation!! I am going to have to watch this several times more to absorb everything!! Thank you!!! What a gift!!
Thank you for your passionate effort!

great video!
May i ask where you found the Liszt Piano Solo version? I cant find it anywhere :(
Yes, if you look on IMSLP, it is the last one under arrangements-it’s the Cotta edition.
@@TheIndependentPianist thanks very much! What a fast answer! 👍
