    For me, Arrau’s interpretation is my absolute favorite., Whereas others choose to turn certain parts of this work into a mere technical showmanship, Arrau realizes that Liszt was past that point of his life when he composed this work, and that all of the virtuosic elements are to have musical effect and importance. The slower temple and the avoidance of frivolous technical display gives this performance a profundity that I simply haven’t seen from anyone. Every single moment and every single note has meaning and impact under Arrau. Where others might be tempted to just turn some of the more complicated sections into mindless virtuosity, Arrau avoids that and reveals the intent Liszt had behind every progression, every turn of phrase, every musical idea. This is amazing!

    Arrau has a huge sonority that never crosses into harshness like Horowitz sometimes does.
    Arrau seems to dig to the bottom of every note making each one sound like a bell.

    Respectfully, Grynyuk's recording has a special place in my heart but I really appreciate how carefully and slowly Arrau plays the transition at 17:06 . I love how it sounds, and maybe part of me just loves it so much I wished it was longer- and thats what Arrau achieved by playing it slowly haha

    This sonata is a big shapeless thing, as first judged by its destinatary, Clara Wieck-Schumann, who complained to a friend "and now, on top of it all I am gonna have to write a letter of thanks"... Poor Clara indeed.

      Meanwhile, Clara Schumann is merely a footnote in history, while Liszt has become one of the most well-respected and beloved composers of all time, and this particular work is seen not only as his greatest work, but scholarly evidence reveals it as one of the most important works in all of classical music, and shows the impact it had on nearly every composer and classical music after it. What Liszt accomplished here was too great to be limited by the rigid shapes and symptoms of the past.

    • @the.vintagepianist
      @the.vintagepianist ปีที่แล้ว +16

      A lot of his output, especially his early to late youth, yes, but this sonata compositionally weak? With all its thematic exploration and transfiguration? One might say that he invented too much and explored too little, although many works have been changed over his lifetime and in most cases deepened.
      Listen to his late works then, or lets say Harmonies poétiques, they might make you see Liszt in a new light. It has been my experience so far, that of the romantic composers, Liszt and Schumann take the longest to really appreciate. I agree with Alfred Brendel, who said that with Liszt, if one is willing to search, one is able to find many works of deep meaningfulness.
