@@thegreenpianist7683 pitty for you, because you're missing out on something truly special. About Boris: Besides a horrible pianist with a cold tone, no imagination and horrible taste in selecting modern repertoire, he is also evil. On Russian state television he suggested to cut off electricity and destroy food supplies for Ukraine. Such a man does not speak the language of the universe and can not be a disciple of Ferenc Liszt! Liszt was a warm hearted, altruistic man. I have fully dedicated my life to Romantic music. It is the only thing I have left and takes my pain and agony partially away. My body feels like I am on fire. It doesn't hurt to listen to my Mephisto Waltz, 4th Ballade Chopin or my absolute masterpiece recording Schumann's Kreisleriana.
@@ondinehd6889 I think both would be the best:) but seeing hands is definitely very important and interesting!! It's lacking without... thank you for supporting my point!
Many pianists confuse Liszt with Chopin and they try to interprete them the same way which is a mistake. No matter that they were born on the same Era , their approach to music is much different . This is a WALZ which means that the tempo is very strict. This is neither a Ballade nor a Nocturne, for this reason i much prefer Berezovky's interpretation on this piece (he also makes very few or any grimaces which for me is much preferable.)
I like your playing, but why would you make such a disparaging comment about a virtuoso? Have you heard his recording of Chopin's Etudes? It's good to have pride in your music, but if it sometimes becomes arrogance, you can't be called a good musician.@@michieldpiano
@@SsksSks-r4h yes, I have heard his Chopin, utterly boring... I have met Boris personally and spoke to him years ago after a concert in Rode Pomp Gent. That concert was also a true disappointment. He does not speak the language of the universe! He has no warmth in his playing, no imagination, no freedom, no Romanticism (like most pianists of today lack). Yes he can transpire, play fast. But he doesn't understand the polyphony of Chopin and certainly not the beauty! This is not about arrogance, this is just the truth. To me, Boris is not worthy to be called a "virtuoso". Besides that he is evil! (not that my opinion on his playing is influenced by politics). But Berezovsky suggested on Russian state TV to starve the Ukrainians by cutting of the electricity. Completely supporting the Russian Z-movement. Zum kotzen!
@@michieldpiano I know what you mean. So who do you think is a virtuoso? And what do you think of Lim Yun-chan, Seong-jin Cho, Trypnoff, Yuja Wang, Kate Lieu, etc.?
@@SsksSks-r4h A true virtuoso comprehends the music they perform intimately. Sadly, many contemporary pianists have strayed from the genuine art of piano playing. Achieving the elusive "golden tone" entails the piano becoming an extension of the pianist's being. None of the pianists mentioned possess the ability to master the instrument in this manner. They fail to move me profoundly or capture my undivided attention, lacking the ability to evoke love and warmth in their performances. I am utterly fatigued from debating my stance on Yuja Wang and the state of piano competitions. Trifonov's relentless concert schedule resembles a repetitive circus act, lacking depth or resonance. In my view, the outstanding pianists of our time include Arcadi Volodos, Cyprien Katsaris, Alexandre Kantorow, Grigory Sokolov, Benjamin Grosvenor, Elisso Wirsaladze, Yeol Eum Son, Sigurd Slattebrek, Mikhail Pletnev, and Mariam Batashvili. However, my heart belongs to the 20th-century masters who infused their performances with emotion, spontaneity, and storytelling. Unlike many contemporary pianists who merely mimic emotions while showcasing technical prowess, these masters, such as Ignaz Friedman, Mark Hambourg, Natan Brand, Dinu Lipatti, and Vladimir Sofronitsky, Josef Hofmann, Sergei Rachmaninoff played with genuine feeling and character. Additionally, students of Clara Schumann and Liszt, like Moritz Rosenthal, Emile von Sauer, and Fanny Davies, offer insights into historical interpretations, providing a glimpse into the past. As for myself, I am fully immersed in 19th-century music. Some might deem me eccentric, but I am convinced I communicated with Robert Schumann through visions. He imparted invaluable insights into his compositions, including the significance of tempo, pedaling, and fingerings. Without resorting to drugs or absinthe, I am preparing to record a vinyl of Carnaval, featuring a unique interpretation taught by maestro Schumann himself. I intend for the distribution to be nearly anonymous, with my name subtly printed in gray on a black background to let the music speak for itself. In addition to my artistic pursuits, I am a teacher. My sole student, Sehun Kim from South Korea, sought me out after stumbling upon my (rather harsh) critiques of his Chopin interpretations on TH-cam. Despite initial resistance, he underwent a transformative journey under my guidance, refining his pianistic skills and delving into deeper aspects of interpretation. However, this journey was fraught with unforeseen challenges as Sehun encountered physical ailments, accidents, grief and had never experienced these emotions before having lessons with me... In these turbulent times, musicians and artists bear a profound responsibility. Regardless of culture or instrument, we must strive to reconnect humanity with beauty, purity, respect, and love through our art. Art serves as a conduit to the essence of existence, transcending language and culture. Indeed, music is divine.
She is really great.
One of the best and cleanest opening bars I've ever heard!
which is wrong... Liszt wants pedal on it! Listen to my version.
@@michieldpiano no thank you. I saw what you said about Berezovsky down below, don't be that guy.

@@michieldpiano go take a nap.
@@thegreenpianist7683 your response is just horrible... You should be ashamed of yourself!
This is incredible. Such authority and dare!
I kindly invite you to listen to my version on my channel.
The best!!!!
Me encantó, magnífica interpretación. Saludos desde México:) Felicidades!
This is a fantastic performance. One of the best!

Brava!
Please let her play on Horowitz grand piano, it would fit her style of playing 😍
წარმატებები თამთას!
Bravissima! One of the best live Mephisto, effectively.
Proves once more that bars 764-783 are impossibles quadruples somersaults.
Absolutely brilliant performance with such temperament!! But why did the camera not show her hands??🤨😲🙁
Her face tells all about what she wants to express. Lovely! No move twice even when repeating the same notes. Gorgeous!
@@ralf-peter.schwarz Seeing her hands is far more interesting, and informative than seeing her face.
@@ondinehd6889 I think both would be the best:) but seeing hands is definitely very important and interesting!! It's lacking without... thank you for supporting my point!
ძალიან მაგარი შესრულებაა, წარმატებები!
