Liszt: Hungarian Rhapsody No.12 (Kissin)

  • A vivacious and exuberant performance featuring some some superhuman feats of pianism. The second half in particular is real fun to listen to - starting from the stretta vivace at 7:26 things get fairly crazy.
    There’s nothing profound happening in the Hungarian Rhapsodies, but they showcase Liszt’s amazing ability to write exciting stuff for the piano - they’re ridiculous amounts of fun, very colourful, occasionally witty, and are always written with an addictive sense of propulsion. The Hungarian Rhapsody No.12 features (like its more popular C# minor twin, the Hungarian Rhapsody No.2) a particularly diverse huge array of pianistic textures. Sometimes music is just fun.

    "Sometimes music is just fun". That's a perfect description of the Hungarian Rhapsodies. They're fun, flashy, show-offy pieces without a lot of subtlety (except maybe for 13, 14 and 19) that are fun to listen to and--if you've got the chops for them--fun to play.

      @gergelykiss 4 ปีที่แล้ว +31

      I agree with fun, but without subtlety? The way Liszt records the characteristic ornaments and harmonic inflections of Hungarian Gypsy performers of the mid-19th century is almost Bartók-like in its thoroughness. He meant to document an idiosynchratic urban/folk ensemble performance tradition - on solo piano. Nothing of the sort had been done up that point - or I should say nothing that I am aware of. But beyond the ornaments, the harmonic language in some of the Rhapsodies (even the early ones) present revolutionary inventions, just look at the last page of No. 3. If you listen and study them carefully, you will find that basically all the Rhapsodies offer some truly ingenious gems of harmony, texture, timbre - yes, they are fun, but they have a lot of merit beyond being fun. The late Rhapsodies (16-19) represent a completely different world - those don't really belong with the early set, their musical language is very bold, and (with the exception of No. 19) pianistically restrained.

    • @sephynarutocloud
      @sephynarutocloud 4 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      Agree with the comment above. It's dismissive to think of this music as just showing Liszt's ability to write virtuoso piano pieces.
      shay loya's book on liszt and lynn hooker's book on hungarian music are must-reads for anyone who wants to have more than superficial grasp of what liszt was trying to do here.

    • @spencerfinley3742
      @spencerfinley3742 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I totally agree. I feel like that mentality also diminishes their political significance. These were also powerful statements against Austria’s occupation of Hungary. One of the best examples of this is No. 15. The Racokczi March was something akin to the Marseillaise in 19th Century Hungary, and Liszt nearly got in trouble with Austrian authorities numerous times for playing it in Hungary.

Bach was a superior composer but he cared soucj about getting the counterpoint spot on that much of his fugues for keyboard DO NOT fall under the fingers readily and, to beated perfectly, often command more skill than much of Liszts writing. There, I've said it!

      @@dzatiashvili I think Kissin‘s performance is good. He plays all the right notes with accurate tempo choices and correct dynamics. The problem with his performance is that it’s not finished, the individuality is missing. His interpretation is technically not finished, since this might be as well played by a MIDI computer. The total lack of rubato and to a certain extent ornamentations/improvisations is upsetting, sure, but that doesn’t make his playing a failure. His performance is a bit *too* perfect I‘d say
