Stunning performance of a piece that should be heard more often. Not one of Liszt's finest paraphrases, but an effective piece way above the average in the genre. It's not hard to see why Liszt chose it for his "duel" with Thalberg. It has both moments of stupendous bravura and delicate, tender episodes. It must have been something to hear Liszt playing this, if only on the light instruments of the 1830s and 1840s.
Liszt played this piece during his contests with his rival Sigismond Thalberg in Paris. It's certainly not one of Liszt's best operatic transcriptions. Gekic seems to enjoy performing these rarely heard virtuoso works, and his technique is certainly up to the task...so is his beautiful black velvet cape...
Kemal Gekić and Misha Dacić are the two pianists I know who love to wear black cape in the recital in recent years.😆 And they both have incredible techniques!
Sorry to be offtopic but does anyone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I somehow forgot my login password. I would love any tips you can give me.
@Eugene Javion I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im trying it out atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

Merci ! le cas Pacini est l'un des plus injustes de l'histoire de la musique … C'est l'un des plus beaux compositeurs du XIXème siècle. Quand justice lui sera-t-elle rendue ? … Pour notre plus grand plaisir … Qu'attendent Joyce DiDonato, Spyres, Florez, et d'autres pour reprendre le relais de Leyla Gencer ….qui avait compris l'importance de ce compositeur voici bien longtemps déjà… Croisons le doigts que la connaissance, le courage économique (au début), le désir de relever des challenges, répareront cette anomalie … Mercdante est dans le même cas …. (commençons par eux …)
Es scheint, als sei Franz Liszt in Kemal Gekic wieder auferstanden: höchste Virtuosität gepaart mit Musikalität und beim Spiel noch ein Lächeln im Gesicht als Ausdruck der Spielfreude - ja besser geht es wohl nicht!
It's always a pleasure to listen to somebody having fun and making music at the same time. The true meaning of "playing [with] the piano." Bravo!!!

Thanks so much, you really help me out :D
Wow! This is actually my favourite interpretation of this piece! 😁
Great gekic! Thanks for the wonderful video. ❤
I didn't know this work.I want to practice this work🎶
Bravo! Gekic also knows how to entertain an audience with those facial expressions too! haha
Great opus, awesome interptretation.
恐らくリスト本人もタールベルク戦で、ゲキチのように優雅かつ奔放な感じで弾き切ったんだと思う。
