One of the most beautiful performance, every note sings. Yes Liszt was a virtuoso, as these amazing pianists, but at this point it wasn't for show, and every single note, even in the fast passages, is urging to sing. This pianist accomplishes this to great effect ❤️
Have played piano since I was 12, with an 18 year break. Heard this for the fist time two months ago at 41. I'm inspired by this piece and now have a relationship with Liszt I did not have before. Amazed this 163 year-old piece of music can be so soulful, emotive, and exciting; communicating a feeling of bittersweet longing, optimistic imaginings, and youthful energy. I'm hopeful there are other gems like this I have overlooked.
I think Bolet is the only pianist understanding Liszt .. most of the pianist thinks Liszt,s music is a complicated show off music .. it is true in some extent However, none of them understand the fragility! The poetical in Liszt !! Expect Bolet Bolet is LOVE
Bolet is a great favourite of mine.I am working on this piece at present and its very challenging for me (the 5 cadenzas are tough). Bolet is unusual to watch because his hands/fingers look very inflexible, but that is nonsense. The speed and agility that he has is phenomenal. I heard Bolet play the 3 Petrarch Sonnets live in Adelaide in 1977 (he was 63 as I am about to be later this year) and this recording in TH-cam must be roughly around that vintage I'd think. Perhaps he is a little older here. I have a recording of that 1977 performance which I just digitised yesterday (off the cassette I recorded off the radio!). The beginning of this piece is marked with staccatos in the left hand. He does not play them here nor in Adelaide (and interestingly neither does Horowitz in his recordings). I'm not sure why that would be. Bolet is usually very faithful to the score and Liszt was always very precise in what he wanted.
I think it might be because the staccato tenths in the left hand are hard to execute quickly unless you have very big hands - Horowitz’s hands weren’t that big and it doesn’t look as if Bolet’s were either. As for the date of this film, I think it’s the late ‘80s - I owned a videocassette of it! Must be the only time he played a Steinway instead of a Bechstein - perhaps none were available.
@@stefanufer608 well it’s not hard to roll the 10th quickly and have some detachment. He makes them very not detached here! He died in 1990 and was pretty unwell the last few years so if this is the late 80s probably just before he got sick
Was practicing this and got so frustrated at myself for not doing this beautiful piece justice and even though listening to this wonderful, wonderful performance makes me realize how lacking I am, I was also extremely inspired (and may have even a few tears...) Thanks for the upload!!
This playing is on a whole new aesthetic plain...usually just reserved for angels close to the Source of all beauty. We are all lucky to have been given a glimpse by Messieurs Bolet and Liszt.

Pianista subestimado! Um dos melhores intérpretes de liszt, e essa é a melhor interpretação dessa música
It is so blissful to see the hands and the mind fully dedicated to Music, without any excesses and acrobatics in the style of lang lang.
Bolet's sobriety was as remarkable as his virtuosity and sensitivity
At this time 1944 views....the world really has no clue what they are missing.

This interpretation is pure magic. By FAR, the most mystical and beautiful I have heard.
Bolet is surely the VERY greatest of all at this. Just utter magic.
This week I've discovered this beautiful piece and Bolet too. I feel blessed.
Just divine!
So refined. Gorgeous voicing. Captures the emotion of this gorgeous love sonnet so evocatively. I’m learning this wonderful piece.
Plato could point to this as the perfect paradigm for the meaning of "perfect".
The most beautiful performance of the enchanting piece!!! Thank you so much for sharing!
youtube is the greatest invention of the 20 century.
21th?

Maestro Bolet, Liszt told me to tell you, "Bravo". Exquisite.
"Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent." Victor Hugo and myself. Bolet is at his best here.
Hermoso.
The close up of those hands! They are so long 😭 I cant reach the tenth 😭😭😭😭😭
I have this on loop while I potter around the house and garden, its so ambient and beautiful.
Probably the greatest Liszt' interpret, along with Cziffra, but on a different style.
This video is a gem. By far my favorite rendition. Thank you for posting!
Learning this one for an audition. Wish me luck 😊
6:14 pure magic
Magnificent performance.

Thanks for the upload!!
hah this is how i feel
Beautiful in every possible way. Mature Liszt played maturely.
2 months on and I still find this so sadly romantic I could die 🥰😢
In the beginning, an 'R' is missing in the poet's name: it's written 'Petrach'.
wow god of piano
La EXELENCIA.
Beautiful - what more can I say?

Fernanda…. ❤
Beautifully played!😊
Wonderful work !
유투브 알고리즘이 큰 일했다❤
Gorgeous.
Pure poetry.
. Beautiful
Liszt is love
Can someone please remaster this I would be so grateful
???????
À partir de l'Introduction (très convaincante: pas "Agitato assai"!), toute l'interprétation est magistrale.
Bolet es el que entiende. más a Fran,z
Bolet nació para Franz
