Love it! Sounds like it was composed as a challenge to Liszt's contemporaries as a "there, match that!" or "I can do one better than you!" Designed to show off Liszt's absolute mastery of the piano, as it seems to push both instrument and pianist to their limits. For all that, it's a fantastic piece!
Interested to see that David Mitchell's Soapbox channel like this, since the man himself no apparent interest in music at all :P I, though, think this is great. Liszt was truly the master of the piano.
This anarchic music is the sort of music that if you are not interested in music would make you think twice about your lack of interest. From my perspective this piece has sounds that defy musical sense from the first chord. That stuff from 1:10, then 1:30 then the ascending and descending arpeggios after 2:00, the madness at 3:00. Why are they there? Liszt was just brilliantly self indulgent, arrogant and brilliant. Andreas extracted that smart-arsery perfectly. Listen to the sound AND see the hand pound the keyboard! Amazing. It's 2014. Love the bum off the seat moments from 2:45. This stuff is about 2000% better watching it played than just listening.

на самом деле пьеса не сложная, октавная техника да и только.
imagine going into a piano store and playing this
And be charged for scarring that piano for life
gorgeous playing!!! I just began studying this piece and am looking forward to when it is perfected!
This is amazing use of tonal and dynamic contrasts! For an amusing effect, listen at 1.25x speed and imagine Liszt himself playing.
Or simply play Cziffra's EMI Recording..
Love to hear that played on a Bosendorfer Imperial, anybody?
No, Steinway here is fine thanks..

No one:
Liszt: *O C T A V E S*
