@@user-gl7qx1ww6r I want to see this.
I performed this for a competition and during the glissandos, my blister exploaded so there was literal BLOOD on the keys. The sacrifice had been successful
thats fuckin metal dude
@@emrys6559 *That’s fugue-ing Classical, sir
fuckin hardcore man, respect
Madlad
The spirit of Liszt smiles upon you
*Rockers and metalheads:* The drop of my music is satanic
*Franz Liszt:* hold my beer
Most of metal draws major inspiration from prolific ivory tickling.
*Franz Liszt:* hold my fingers
Where do you think black and death metal gets it's inspiration from? Classical music, of course. Certainly not blues..
that pirate song (i don’t know what it’s called) is also inspired by this piece for sure
Symphony X all i have to say. Symphony X is the only band that can create such amazing classical inspired songs

Liszt: “hey guys, watch this!” *bREAKS PIANO STRINGS*
Liszt said vibe check
Franz Schubert lol wtf 🤣

If we can listen it now, it means somebody played that.
It could be robot, but I know there are people who played that. I think that everything is playable except 3:15. No idea how to play that (I don't play piano, only clarinet)
@@user-nb6zu3rk4f Nah, that's very possible. Much more possible than the rest of it. It's called a glissando, and you just slide your hand/back of thumb across the keys. Hurts like a bugger for me though.
@@MusicTheoryWithNour Robot can play with emotion, it's just hard to make such a robot.
M C if you look at the sheet music during the glissandos, you’ll see the Bb in the key sig. is marked natural, so not as hard as you were thinking
*laughs in Liszt*
Liszt always had a talent for his masterful usage of the lower register of the piano.... never too muddy and he uses it to incite fear. And this performance is spectacular
Liszt taught the world how to "properly" use the piano, like how Paganini did that with the violin.
Yup him and Rachmaninov really knew how to use the lower notes. If you listen to Valentina Lisitsa playing Rach PC 2 without the orchestra the bottom notes sound almost like bells 🤯
@@lighting7508 have a listen to Rachmaninov's first piano sonata, it really has some impressive use of the lower register imo, especially in the 1st and 3rd mvts
Repent and trust in Jesus. we deserve Hell for our sins. For example lying, lusing, saying God's name as a cuss word and stealing our just some examples of sin which we can all admit to doing at least one of those. For our sin we deserve death and Hell, but there is a way out. Repent anf trust in Jesus and you will be saved. Repentence is turning from sin. So repent and trust in Jesus. He will save you from Hell, and instead give you eternal life in Heaven.

Now I understand why Lizst broke so many pianos! He also wrote some of the most difficult piano music known to man!!
Yes ! He also wrote a piece only he could play it ! It remains that way stil to this day centuries later !!!

@@GreenTea4 valentina played el contrabandista tho
@@Mihailowo She's not the greatest ...her tones & sounds are not so beautiful ! Sorry ...but I'm being very honest ! For an example , compare her playing ' La Campanella ' to others in videos ! The Korean player & Chinese ( I believe ) not Lang Lang...they did the very best job as far as the tones & sounds & speeds & techniques go ! Hats off to them ! Claritu is A MUST TO HAVE !!! Especially, when you play a piece named after bells !!! And for any piece ! Walter Klein was the very best when it comes to the superb clarity & sounds & tones !!! Speechless beauty his plays were !!!
@@GreenTea4 Just because other pianists haven't recorded it doesn't mean they do not possess the ability to play it. As Spark has mentioned, she's definitely not the greatest pianist, there are numerous pianists that can outmatch her, technically or musically.
Saw this performed live by a young 16 yr old Russian boy, Sasha Voinov, dressed up like a skeleton in a tuxedo. One of the best shows I ever saw. Amazing
You’re definitely haunted now

Damn, I’m 16 and barely learning revolutionary etude 😭
So my boy was basically portraying the piece… (srry that was a bit harsh)

1838's symphonic black metal
Lorenzo Rossi I can hear some of that, I can also see a tech death band playing a song like this. Especially the crazy arpeggiated piano parts
If you were to play this piece with electric guitars, drums, bass and (optional) keyboards, it would most certainly sound like symphonic black/death metal. Without a single doubt..
This is actually a lot heavier! Liszt was an absolute master! Today's musicians are no where near as knowledgeable in music theory as world class composers such as Liszt were. In other words, Liszt had a better understanding of what actually sounded heavy and not just rely in distortion to supplement that heavy sound.
@@IsraelMedrano "Today's musicians are no where near as knowledgeable in music theory as world class composers such as Liszt were".
1- You're wrongly and unspecifically making comparisons between different approaches to music.
2- Music theory is not at all essential for composing/writing meaningful pieces/songs that are worth paying attention to.
@@IsraelMedrano "Liszt had a better understanding of what actually sounded heavy and not just rely in distortion to supplement that heavy sound."
You are mistaking eeriness with heaviness, although they tend to overlap much more in Death and Black Metal. Organized, contextualized loudness via electrical amplification and certain lyrical themes are what define heavy music; that's why Motörhead and Liszt shouldn't be compared, to put a single example.
How many fingers do you need to play this?
Liszt: *yes*
Just bang your head in to the piano
Just push the piano downstairs
No one:
Liszt: *D* *I* *E*
Christian Vennemann Berlioz was the inspiration for this tho
This guy sure ate his spinach before he played this. Super dynamic. Never heard such daring tempi in some of the sections. Where is Enrico Pace now? Imagine how avant garde this hyper-dramatic, rather dissonant music would have sounded to people in the mid-19th century! They would have shaking in their petticoats on the carriage ride home.
100% agree, "Daring tempi" is the best description of this performance
I've heard this piece played lyrically, but I've never heard it played as if the pianist was attempting to summon Death himself. Surprisingly, I approve.
18th century rock.

This sounds like Sarouman thinking.
Yeah! that's exactly what I was thinking. 😱
In fact it is the theme of Isengard!
Helena G.
It’s not the Isengard Theme
Helena G. They’re similar
You are naive and infantile. Your head and nose are very small.
Because its inspired from dies irae,which actuall mostly incorperated with death music on the chatolic realm,and which have many inspiration for horor music
So I was just listening to a classical music playlist and this comes out of nowhere. As somebody with an unhealthy obsession with Dies Irae…this is pretty much the greatest thing I’ve ever heard.
Was there in 1989. Goosebumps.... Enrico Pace & Liszt created magic that night!
Holy shit i was looking into Liszt music and everything was joyful and beautiful, and then this... I shit myself out of awesomeness.
Just heard both and i have to tell you, they're amazing!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Totentanz gives me rage. But the good kind of rage. The kind that makes you want to live everything all at once at max intensity and max speed.
Therapy is expensive, the recording of Enrico Pace playing Totentanz is free.
Liszt was the best remixer of classical music in his century, this is proof!
No, that would be Brahms.
Earlier, Beethoven. Later, Rachmaninoff.
Liszt comes close.
@@segmentsAndCurves Any recommendations from Brahms?
Personally I think some of liszts transcriptions like Lucrezia Borgia and De Norma are very good, so I wonder what it would take to top that :)
@@iliketurtles5180 Brahms is a hardcore classicist and absolute musician so you wouldn't find opera kind of music.
But since this piece of Liszt is a theme and variations, I suggest you try out Brahms's famous variations like these ones on the theme of Paganini, Handel, Schumann, and Haydn.

@@p-y8210 i agree. all other performances are rather weak compared to pace's work right here.
Just gorgeous.
Oh hi fanchen
So... see you on the dance floor!
Aww, man, I adore that "Dies Irae" theme. It's awesome.
who composed the "Dies Irae" theme?
***** I did
IsThisReallyTH-cam actually there is so many composers who composed a Theme they called Dies Irae(at least 3-4, probably more) so it's a bit hard to know which precise theme he is talking about and i don't know a theme my self that sounds similar to this theme(Totentanz)
***** okay boyyyyyy
***** This is the best known Dies Irae melody. It is of medieval origin and so commonly referenced in other works that it is hardly ambiguous to simply state "Dies Irae". It is any other reference that needs qualification or context. Since the Dies Irae is a standard section of the requiem mass there are naturally many others. Other examples or this one include Rachmaninoff ( Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini), Berlioz (Symphonie Fantastique), and Sondheim (Sweeny Todd) and over a dozen more you can look up. Proof that it is a great tune.
3:45 The third variation is my absolute favorite, almost sounds like a Roman battle. I wish it was longer though...
Tim Madden absolutely....
I wish this variation melody could be more audible...and unleash it s full potential
9:00 pure art
Totally agree
th-cam.com/video/eVsokduw330/w-d-xo.html that's coolth-cam.com/video/eVsokduw330/w-d-xo.html that's cool
Whoa, this is a brutal performance, in the best sense! The chords in the beginning felt like literal punches 😱
This is the first time I ever heard this piece with an Orchestra. It's sounds way more intense. Until now I only heard Valentina Lisitsa's solo version which is still awesome.
I prefer orchestra version, it is more intense
This is Enrico Pace playing with an orchestra. This is the best performance i have yeard for years. After 10 years since i first listened to it and i am still in love.
a lot of things can be said about lisitsa's performance of this piece and awesome is not one of them in my opinion.
I hate the solo version actually after the orchestra version
A 15 minute journey from the depths to the sky's. Brilliant and beautiful. IMO no other music can tell a story quite like a classically composed piece

Fun fact - Liszt had very long fingers, great for playing piano. So for mere mortals his pieces can be incredibly difficult.
Big hands usually do not improve piano skills, they just make large intervals more comfortable.
@@GUILLOM Huh. I have zero musical skills, but was told that some of his music requires you to simultaneously reach keys that are very far apart. Maybe I was lied to.

What a performance! That's the best I've ever heard of that piece - electric!
I never thought I could headbang to a piano piece but that opening.
Amazing to play on piano alone but, I have to say, its definitely one of the hardest pieces I'm learning! :) Well done Liszt for another masterpiece

This is the sound of Grim Reaper banging on your door
13:21 here
"Sword and crown are worthless here, I invite everybody to dance.
Laborers , lawyers, church, and gown all make their little prance.
This life is full of random deaths, and heaps of grief, and shame,
so few are soothed by "accident", you want some one to blame.
Fire , plague, and strange disease, drowned, murdered, or, if you please.
A long fall down the basement stairs, none are expected, no-one cares.
I often work very hard; with sweat running down my skin.
After the dance, I then must rest ; and the eating can begin.
Death is the ultimate equalizer."

+Jenny Armstrong aaaaayyyy
Lizst unbuttomed. Glorious playing. Some moments of genius in the piano writing -particularly that wonderful fugal passage. How are those scales in the finale possible???
I heard recently this commentary that Liszt never played in his concerts his own compositions, and curious to understand who could have inspired him playing only with high and low notes (without medium ones) and finally discovered this in the last Beethoven, surely not surprising !

THIS IS METAL !!!
Mrinal Nandi classical metal
no, this is a dream, a bad one, but very intense
Indeed it is! You’re absolutely right! Today’s metal bands echo the preoccupation with death and darkness characteristic of the 19th so-called ‘Romantic’ era. Chopin, Berlioz and Rachmaninov are also precursors of today’s ‘heavy metal’ in all its forms.
This is what Metal wishes it could be.
😂
Day Dies Irae though. Who would've thought Liszt was a fan of plainchants.
Probably his fascination vvith dead forced him to compose this...
True ! He vent to prisons, chapels, graveyards...
A huge life bar with a badass boss name in it appears every time this theme start.
The opening sound like the first sequence of "The Shining (1980) :o
Yeah, they have the same theme from the Gregorian chant Dies Irae.
or the opposit
The Shining Theme was inspired by this.
Why It? Not exactly true. It was based off of Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique, not this piece.
@@abraxasstone nope berlioz was inspired dies irea a gregorian chant
@Daniel Saw your post on Berlioz's "Witch's Sabbath" and glad I found this piece you mentioned! Thank you for uploading a great version of it.
"Classical music its so relaxing".
Classical music:

"Nooooooo"
(Quand quelqu'un s'apprête à finir le paquet de biscuits)
I was born too early to be a real heavy metal fan. This was my ‘substitute’ which I learned while I was at a Christian Brothers’ grammar school - full of grief, fear, hate, vengeance and satanic fantasies. In those days I got to carry the great cross at requiem masses and funerals while the Dies Irae and In Paradisum were being chanted...
Liszt's piano parts always sound like a nasty case of carpal tunnel waiting to happen ... brilliantly played though.
TheLinguist88 carpal tunnel ?
Shaw Rosowitsch It's a nerve disorder in the hand that people who use their fingers a lot can develop. It's not specific to pianists, but a lot of the faster and relentless piano pieces (e.g. this piece, and the more complex Bach, Chopin, and Rachmaninoff) make pianists especially susceptible. It can cripple the hand for weeks even with prompt treatment, and can permanently wreck one's piano playing if left untreated.
TheLinguist88 wow .. why woud u play such pieces then if theyre so dangerous ?
Shaw Rosowitsch To quote George Mallory, who was asked why he wanted to climb Everest, "because it's there."
With rigorous warm-ups (scales, arpeggios) and disciplined practice, as well as taking care to stop when warning pains begin to travel across the hand, most pianists avoid getting carpal tunnel even when playing pieces like this. It's really no different from any other form of exercise -- just like you wouldn't want to run a (26-mile/40 km) marathon when the longest you've run before is 5 miles (8 km), you wouldn't want to play a piece like this without working up to it and going through it slowly. That's why we practice. :) And I've never played this piece specifically, but the thrill of mastering a difficult or challenging piece is what we live for.
TheLinguist88 so ur a pianist ?? ... do u thin like hardcore dota2 or lol player could get the same from those up to 30klicks a sec ??
WHAT AN INCREDIBLE RECORDING!!! THIS ORCHESTRA HAS DRIVE!!! I MEAN @ 0:00 THAT'S JUST TIMPANI CRUELTY!!! ONE OF LISZT'S BEST, THANKS SO MUCH!!!

Holy crap!!!!!!! That's the fastest and clearest I've heard it played by pianist and orchestra. I've been listening to this work for so, so many years. I had no idea that was the correct tempo. Sorry Alfred Brendel and Idil Biret. This pianist has you both beat!!!

I've noticed the video of the performance is no longer available, sadly. I enjoyed watching Enrico Pace play this piece. His is the best performance, and I've tried a lot of them. None of them are as soothing to my ear as this one.
Thank you for letting me know. Links updated.
11:07 my favorite part
Another brillant piece by Liszt. Crazyiness
Great work, buddy. It's so good to hear while reading - actually trying to read - the sheet.
2:55 It is amazing what you find out, this song clearly inspired the Necropolis song from Heroes of Might and Magic 3!
This is probably a weird place to ask this, but what's the significance of the bottom arrow being reversed? I'm genuinely interested. I've seen the three arrows around but never with the bottom one looking like that .
@@Joe-oh5ch The three arrows denounced 1. Monarchism, 2. Naziism, 3. Communism.
So reversing the bottom one means that while I am still against the first 2, I'm not against the third.
I did see fascists reverse the middle arrow before, so it's not always clear.
@Polski Bolszewik First of all, its impressive you answered him after 5 years. Secondly, could I also ask where that arrow symbol came from? And is there a specific reason why it goes monarchism, fascism, and communism? And so if say someone is for monarchism do they then point the first arrow up?
@@CptSeighter123 I'll answer your questions in reverse.
Yes, you reverse the arrow to symbolise that you are for something. Note though, that reversing regardless of which one is also subverting the social democratic message.
There is a specific order for it, it links to a propaganda poster from three arrows.
Please look up images in your browser under the search 'Three Arrows Propaganda', you should see the original poster with three red hands holding the arrows and striking monarchists, nazis and communists.
The symbol came from the the "drei Pfeile" which is a social-democratic political symbol of the German SDP.
Amazing work. Being an amateur pianist this work is beyond me, however, I can follow the music and see how difficult it is.
fantastic! it is so full of almost "animal" energy, one of the best rendition i have ever heard!
Incredibly vital and inspirational interpretation of Lizst master piece!
One of my favorite pieces of all eternity.
This is what I want to hear when I fight a major boss in games XD!
No, it's just a Necromancer with army of 3000 skeletons knocking on your door.

Thanks for uploading!
Great piece
Intro reminds me of Metal played on acoustic instruments...
+Tarquin Ogilvie :it is metal.. nothing else. hardcore.
+Tarquin Ogilvie you can thank early medieval music believe it or not. Listz borrowed heavily from sounds of Dies Irae, a Gregorian Chant based on judgement day.
You can heard that melody in the 5th movement of Fantastic Symphony of Berlioz ;)
A lot of metal musicians are greatly influenced by classical music.
***** That is amazing. My mother who is very into classical, Dylan, jazz, etc loves some metal not all of it. Bands like Mastodon, Opeth, etc. I love it myself, it's a much maligned genre but it's technical aspect keeps me enthralled.
I imagine Liszt dancing with Mephisto.
Liszt must be a smiter paladin then.
Saimanoj Movva Mephisto is Satan lmao
SpaghettiToaster Mephisto's original instance in literature is as Mephistopheles in Marlowe's Doctor Faustus, and he is not Satan, he is one of Satan's servants, also Satan shows up later as Lucifer. Mephisto is more of a demon or familiar, not Satan himself.
Mephisto is a prime evil. You face him in Act III. You get to Diablo in Act IV.
smh some people just don't know their Diablo II.
He dances with the dead, hence "danse macabre"
love this sooo much
Breathtaking!
The starting part of this piece may be familiar to fans of Heroes of Might & Magic. Specifically if you've heard the theme for Necropolis towns in HoMM 3, or the menu theme for HoMM 5.
