It's come a long way from when I used to sit in the school hall watching him play when we was like 11, I tell you that.
It's simply magic!
Mind blowing. He's playing in SIngapore on 22 Jun at international piano festival. Bought the first row ticket already. Can't wait to see his performance live. I hope my 8 year old daughter can be inspired by him n practice more everyday. Ha.
some skill to remember each note without sheet music and how he is playing just amazes me :D
Perfect...!!!!
to quote robert schumann," hats off, gentlemen, a genius!"
Why does no one mention, that this is Cziffra's transription?
There's actually another video - same video but has the title stating Brahms Cziffra. I didn't think to copy the link for you, sorry. But he is acknowledged.
Well, now someone has... ;)
Brahms is my favorite piece.
omg i wish i could do that!!! lol. he's so incredible he makes me laugh. so many years ahead to enjoy him too.. (:
Amazing. Gobsmacked.
You are my favorite pianist
This is of course the Brahms Hungarian Dance 5 in the virtuoso transcription by Cziffra. He brought a fine lyrical touch to the Liszt second concerto and didn't seem overawed by the big occasion. Maybe with more experience and confidence he will bring more diablerie and abandon to these works. A remarkable pianist.
@BGDPPL That yabbdabbadoo phrase does stick in the mind.
It's so hard to find a good Brahms interpreter nowadays...Grosvenor nails this piece. The more I see of this kid, the more I like his playing
Didn't know Tyrion Lanister played piano
i can do that, someone hold my beer.
Credit the original arranger Cziffra please.
to remember the notes is not hard. However, not to ruin the music by playing it thousands and thousands times is really hard.
I think he is amazing.
What nincompoops give this a thumbs down?
Versione Cziffra. Che le improvvisava :)
Is this somebody's arrangement of the Brahms? - it doesn't seem like Brahms' writing...
I do not understand whether the Concertmaster is jealous or an idiot personality. 1: When the soloist plays, the arche is not lifted. 2: Even if the soloist plays badly, the face should not reflect it. Evil is flowing from the Concertmaster's face. I can say it's definitely a bad person.
@@yosserc "Fails horribly, but he is surely trying":))) Who are you talking about? Do you know what Concertmaister means? I'm not talking about Benjamin, he is a really good pianist and he overcomes a very difficult interpretation with success. I think you should improve your musical knowledge and learn what is the mean of "Concermaister" before you call "fool" to someone!
This guy is OK, but he is no Glenn Gould
It's not Brahms, it's Brahms-Cziffra, please differentiate.
ur mum
Makes sense that it's a Cziffra arrangement, it's so bloody difficult! But yes Grosvenor is stupendous, one of the finest pianists before the public today--he has it all. Whether he plays Bach, Brahms-Cziffra, Chopin, it's perfection.
The Proms are intended to be informal concerts. That's why many of the tickets, including those in the best areas, are actually standing. Look at the end during the applause and the standing promenaders up front are wearing polo shirts and shorts. I don't think he is inappropriately dressed at all, especially for someone who had just had his 19th birthday a week earlier.
This is obviously a daring finger dance devised by the great Cziffra. Such fun to listen and watch as he dazzles the crowd with not only astounding technique but brilliant musicality. Bravissimo!
Child genius turned man genius
Wonderful! Incredible technique and finger dexterity.
I wondered why the transcription sounded so bad… then realized it was Cziffra 🤮
Genuis never shows off, it flies and is free. This man is only soaring higher, and going to places we can never be.
omg he has a special touch the way his fingers moves so lightly is just amaaazing
OMG OMG OMG........yeah, that's from eight hours' practice per day. LOL A mmmmmaaaaazzzing
Once I just heard him start playing I the start it hit me so hard I had to pause it and tell myself. He is a good player. And I’m pretty sure he phrased it. What I’m saying is he’s is beyond good.
Oh Benjamin! Even today, nine years later, this elicits such deep feelings. What a privilege to witness such a virtuoso at such a young age - and you're still making music magically. Thank you! Best wishes always.
Utterly amazing performance. I could watch him play this over and over. I have the sheet music and it doesn't look as difficult to play as say Godowsky, but it is tricky. Benjamin Grosvenor makes it look easy. His fingers almost skim over the keys. His touch is amazing and the colour and tone he obtains from such s light touch is clearly prodigious. He played Glinka-Balakirev's The Lark when he was nine years old with the touch and musicality of some concert pianists many times his age. Grosvenor is an amazing talent.
Went to school with this chap. WHSB!!
unique, light, bright, brilliant touch
What a wonderful talent! Thank you
9what a musician
You can't get better than that!
😍😍😍😍😍
I'll bet the score doesn't indicate constant accelerations and decelerations. But I enjoyed this performance.
Superb technique, but I was a little disappointed with the Liszt Concerto - commands an authority of the piano remarkable for his age, and mastered his nerves well, but it was never going to be anything special. Lacked that performance magic, that little bit of extra presense, that makes you look up and think, wow, this is virtuoso - Chopin was capable of the same problem, 'mastering enormous difficulties without the audience noticing them' was the phrase. I just wanted more special.
Wow! I love the way he plays this. I have to practise!!!
You certainly practiced
BRAVO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it is a virtuoso transcription, so a lot of cziffra/liszt comes off vs. the brahms waltz itself, thought he couldve done more to play with the tune
magnus carlsen)))
very good but Cziffra has a weird 4th finger than regularly goes above the 5th! Cziffras still safe as the best pianist ever.
If learning the notes would be the biggest problem everybody could do that. The biggest problem is probably to play this without making it sound blurry and inaccurate. :)
Hardly made any mistakes
I believe the correct term in your British terms is "wanker," yes? Man, I hope self-respecting British people don't see this!
I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE TO PLAY COMPLEX CLASSICAL MUSIC WITHOUT SHEET!!!!!
Jonathan Petruska what
Jonathan Petruska what apart from like every advanced pianist ever
maybe he's a 20 year old who's developing his own style, i think he looks stylish, I could see Nick Drake dressing similar
I went to primary school with him. Fair to say he is a bit more successful than me.
Amazing performance! Bravissimo!
woah woah woah, what, calling glenn gould an idiot? sorry?
You are absolutely state of the art. Superb. Just superb, and you make it sound so easy, but it so is not!
Amazing. Even more...
Love the expression of the violinist at 3:00...me too, buddy.
This absolutely outstanding playing!
You see at the end that he almost forgot to play the last six chords at the end. That doesn’t make at any less of an amazing performance I just think it’s fun to see someone other than me do it
Huh?
Wow what talent
Has any one got sheet music for this?
goddam that was incredible, played with real fire and sensitivity
Bravo, inspired and brilliant playing.
БРАВО!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love benjamin hes awesome i wish i could meet
Fantastic!!!
Wow didn't know George o'malley could play the piano this well
this is the next level in music!!!!!!
2:25...mind officially blown.
Waauw amazing pianist
I LOVE YOU!! :))) !!!!
legend
Lovely.
incredible
I love ++++
if you play piano you'll notice that remembering a piece is actually for everyone doable :)
@Dulciethecat Yes Lang Lang certainly overdoes alot of his antics, but the music itself lacked that extra spice, that little bit of wait, that ability to leave the audience hanging, that assertive tone that you need to have liszt! As one review put it, it 'lacked the smell of sulpur.' But still a fine performance from an extraordinarily mature young pianist!
Stunning technique, however his interpretation of this piece hardly moves me.
pigolet2178 this isnt his interpretation
Glenn Gould
maybe think about music
This is Kissin. Whay next??
Having a lot of chops always tempts the pianist to whiz through everything merely because they can. But the results are a total circus, a freak show. BUT THE AUDIENCES, THE ROMANS IN THE COLESSEUM CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF IT. decadent.....................
What I love about Benjamin Grosvenor is his modesty and respect for the music and the audience. No showing off, closing eyes or pulling faces! Lovely artist!
The greater you are...of course you are modest 😅 nothing to prove.
hey, this kid is pretty good! he's no Lang Lang, but he knows how to make this music interesting. Maybe one day he can come close to Lang Lang's celestial heights.
Lol what a naive comment
Glenn Gould one of the greatest pianists of all time and certainly a hell of alot greater than you will ever be!
